Local anesthetic is a bit cardio toxic but not that much of a problem. I would say around four days if you are comfortable. The main problem it dislodging the graft accidentally. Avoid contact sports for at least two weeks.
Use your judgment. 3-5days later is generally fine, but anything that raises your BP and heart rate can cause throbbing and pain. Don't overdo it and you'll be fine.
What sort of exercise? How hard will you work out? How are you feeling? I'd suggest trying a light workout and seeing how it goes. Listen to your body.
