    Depends on what you mean by workout, for me it exclusively represents “stuff you do” for muscle building.

    In that case it’s not a workout.

    The same way me playing squash is not a workout.

        Colloquially workout exclusively refers to strength/hypertrophy training, when someone asks “do you workout” they are not asking if you use a stationary bike.

        There is workout, cardio,doing sports and training for a given sport.

          Gonna need a citation on that. I’ve never heard a single other person define workout that way in any country I’ve ever been to

            a structured regime of physical exercise

            Are you genuinely going to fucking tell me that when someone says “hey you look great, do you workout?” they are asking about your running program or your elliptical program?
