Ideally these Exercises were designed to take place in the setting of a secluded retreat, during which those undergoing the exercises would be focused on nothing other than the Exercises.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius
The mind of Ignatius, during his retirement there, was full of military memories and of thoughts of the future; hence the double characteristic of his book, the chivalrous note and the march towards the choice of a state of life.
The Gospel is the marrow of the "Exercises".
The "Exercises" cannot have, simultaneously, a machiavellian and an anodyne character, or be rapt in the clouds and yet crawl upon the soil.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Ignatius Loyola
Ignatius demanded what right they had thus to interfere with a pilgrim like himself, and the friars explained that, to prevent many troubles which had occurred in finding ransoms for Christian prisoners, the pope had given them the power and they offered to show him their Bulls.
Ignatius' own interpretation was characteristic: "I do not know whether we shall be crucified in Rome; but Jesus will be propitious." Just before or just after this, Ignatius had suggested for the title of their brotherhood "The Company of Jesus".
This work originated in Ignatius' experiences, while he was at Loyola in 1521, and the chief meditations were probably reduced to their present shapes during his life at Manresa in 1522, at the end of which period he had begun to teach them to others.

 The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola
Ignatius underwent a profound experience of God during his stay in the little town of Manresa in Spain.
Over the centuries the Jesuits have adapted the Spiritual Exercises into shorter individually-directed retreats of six to eight days, and into conference or group retreats of a few days' duration, in which the director presents various themes of the Spiritual Exercises to a group of people, who pray on their own over the material presented.
The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius are usually experienced in these shorter adaptations, but occasionally people are moved by grace to give themselves to the full Spiritual Exercises in the form of a Thirty-Day Retreat, or as The Spiritual Exercises in Daily Life.

And on the contrary, if the person who is exercising himself commences to have fear and lose heart in suffering the temptations, there is no beast so wild on the face of the earth as the enemy of human nature in following out his damnable intention with so great malice.
Of this latter it is proper to fight against the spiritual gladness and consolation, bringing apparent reasons, subtleties and continual fallacies.
The fifth: The soul which desires to benefit itself in the spiritual life, ought always to proceed the contrary way to what the enemy proceeds; that is to say, if the enemy wants to make the soul gross, let it aim at making itself delicate.

The Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuit order, was founded by Saint Ignatius Loyola in 1534, with the dual purpose of promoting reform within the Roman Catholic Church, and preaching the Gospel in foreign lands.
Jesuit education, in general, is intended to help students attain "perfect eloquence," i.e., the cultivation of one's intellectual, ethical, and spiritual potential.
The Exercises are designed to bring about a transformation of the will, wherein the efforts of the exercitant are directed at achieving the "greater good." From an ethical perspective, this means exercising the proper attitude toward, and use of, all things.
