working out

Pumping some iron

Working out is exercising, especially at a gym or through a structured fitness routine: I've been working out three times a week.

The phrase also means solving or calculating: working out the details, working out how much we owe.

Things that work out resolve favorably: Everything worked out in the end.

To work something out with someone is to negotiate or resolve differences.
