Yes, that makes more sense. If I’m understanding correctly then the changes to the query that I posted should be working. Maybe it has something to do with using the global $wp_query variable, you shouldn’t be doing that.

also, just to be sure, did you change your taxonomy here to the slug for your custom taxonomy and $term_id to the term ID that you want to return?

<?php
  $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
  $args = array (
    'post_type'	=> 'exercise-database',
    'tax_query'  =>  array(
      array(
        'taxonomy' => 'your taxonomy here',
        'terms' => array($term_id),
        'operator' => 'IN'
      )
    ),
    'pagination' => true,
    'paged' => $paged,
    'order' => 'DESC',
  );

  $my_query = new WP_Query( $args );
  if ($mny_query->have_posts()) {
    while ($wp_query->have_posts()) {
      $wp_query->the_post();
      ?><h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2><?php 
    } // end while
   wp_reset_postdata();
  } // end if
