Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, people often differentiate between "ejercicio" (general physical activity) and "deporte" (sport). When asking about a routine, using "rutina de ejercicios" sounds more personal and less competitive than "programa de entrenamiento". Also, be aware that in Latin America the "s" in "ejercicios" is pronounced as /s/, while in Spain it is often /θ/ (like "th").
