Contexto cultural
In Spain, 'hacer deporte' is often used interchangeably with 'hacer ejercicio', even if you are just going for a run or hitting the gym. In many LatAm countries, 'hacer ejercicio' is the preferred term for gym-based activities, while 'hacer deporte' is strictly for organized sports like soccer or baseball. The 'Paseo' (walk) is a cultural staple. While not always called 'hacer ejercicio', a long evening walk is a traditional form of low-impact activity.
The 'H' is Silent
Never pronounce the 'H' in 'hacer'. It's 'ah-ser', not 'ha-ser'.
Avoid 'Work Out' Literalism
Do not say 'trabajar fuera'. That means working outdoors at a job!
