We homeschool and in my experience you are absolutely right! Exercise and free play are as important, if not more important, than instructional or other focused learning. Sometimes my daughter in perticular, struggles with something as we try to teach her. Then after a few days or even weeks when we try the same again she knows it, even though it seemed to us that she learned nothing the first time we tried.

Thanks for the comment. It is amazing what learning goes on inside the child, where we can't see. You plant the seed, and a week or month later when you think you are going to re-teach a concept the child did not understand the first time, you find a plant! I love those surprises.
