They told one of the astronauts that the level was still in range, but had been steadily creeping up and that it would do him some good to get some exercise. So, assuming I have that all correct, my question is, was this just an indicator that his body wasn't processing oxygen as best it could? In other words, when he is in better shape there will be less CO2 output and thereby at a more ideal level.

If it were a shuttle astronaut, this may have to do with trying to extent the shuttle flight as much as possible. Exercise produces more CO2 and thus requires more filters. I would assume that the crewmember was basically told that there were enough spares to allow him to continue to exercise. If this were a station astronaut, it is normal to see the CO2 levels rise during a Shuttle visit since you are adding so many more humans buzzing around the station. And remember that the CO2 removal unit is in the russian segment, so it takes a while for CO2 in Destiny (where there is an exercise bike and lots of shuttle crew presence) to make its way to Zvezda to get filtered out. There is a CO2 removal unit in Destiny, but it is rarely activated.
