The noun 'ejercicio' is masculine, so the article must be 'un', not 'una'.
Es un ejercicio bueno y muy divertido.
When the adjective follows the noun, use the full form 'bueno'.
Es muy un buen ejercicio y divertido.
Avoid placing 'muy' before 'buen'; intensity modifies adjectives, not nouns.

Cultural Tip
In Spanish, adjectives like 'buen' often appear before the noun, while descriptive adjectives such as 'divertido' usually follow the noun. Adding 'muy' before 'divertido' adds emphasis, a common way to convey enthusiasm in everyday speech. Be careful with gender agreement: 'ejercicio' is masculine, so you must say 'un buen ejercicio', never 'una buen ejercicio'.
