Anything stored in your fat cells? I've never heard of that, and aside from the medications on their deferral list and the other health-related questions (tattoos, piercings, have you had sex with a man who has had sex with another man) they don't say anything about not exercising before a donation. I almost always exercise before a donation because I know I won't be able to for 24 hours afterward.
