workouts
Physical training routines
Workouts are sessions of physical exercise, typically structured around specific goals like building strength, improving endurance, or losing weight: I do my workouts in the morning before work.
The term covers everything from gym routines to home exercise videos.
A workout can also be any strenuous effort: That exam was a real workout.
