It was a passing reference by Michael Gove to a question about how non-binding governmental guidance should be interpreted. Since then elevated into a hard-and-fast rule by haters of cyclists and rule-loving masochists who just can't get enough rules to follow.
The regulations themselves (for England) didn't regulate where you could go to exercise, how often you could exericse, how long you could exercise for, or anything else - leaving your house for exercise was legal, full stop.

Was an hour mentioned as an example of ‘close to home’ perhaps? I certainly took 1 hour to be in the spirit of the law but perhaps I was wrong.
I don’t begrudge anyone for ignoring Michael Gove :)
