session of physical exercise or training
Compound of work + out, originally meaning 'to work out problems'
WORK OUT your muscles and work OUT your problems!
Fitness marketing historically gendered 'workouts' as masculine (strength/power) vs. feminine (tone/appearance). Language around fitness intensity and legitimacy still carries these gender assumptions.
Use descriptive terms: 'strength training,' 'cardio,' 'conditioning' rather than gendered modifiers. Validate diverse fitness goals equally.

Women athletes and trainers have built legitimate strength-sports cultures; language should reflect that serious fitness is not gendered.
