Italian word

esercitare

to exercise (a right, a profession); to train/practise

Looks like

to exercise

to use or apply; to do physical activity

⚠️ The trap

Good match for formal/rights usage. But for physical exercise, Italians typically say 'fare esercizio' or 'allenarsi', not 'esercitarsi'. 'I go to exercise' = 'vado ad allenarmi', not 'vado ad esercitarmi'.

To say "to use or apply; to do physical activity" in Italian:

esercitare / fare esercizio (physical)

"esercitare" in English means:

to exercise (a right, a profession); to train/practise

Example

"Esercito la professione di avvocato."

"I practise the profession of lawyer."
