"Workout" é um pouco mais específico e informal do que a expressão "physical exercise", que é mais formal e geral quando o assunto é "malhação/exercício físico". "Workout" é um período de "physical exercise" que você faz para se manter/entrar em forma. Há maneiras de se fazer exercício físico(physical exercise) sem estar malhando(workout) para se manter em forma.

I'm not sure the distinction is worth the effort, Donay. We see the two terms being used pretty interchangeably.
Going for a long walk every day is enough of a workout for him.
His type of workout doesn't even raise the heart rate.
Etc.

- How often do you workouot?
- I play basket every Sunday.
Yes, sure. I'd prefer breaking it apart as a verb, and you'd probably want to use "basketball":
- How often do you work out?
- I play basketball every Sunday.
Well pointed out, I was going to write "basketball" (it sounded better), but I decided not doing so. I'm glad I didn't write this, for now I know why it sounds better.
About the 'work out', I was going to split it, but everyone else was using it as whole word. Does it change from case to case?

INGLÊS PARA VIAGENS
As a general rule, think of splitting off the preposition when you're using it as a verb (often it's a phrasal verb, right?) and keeping them together (sometimes with a hyphen) when using it as a noun:
The plane's takeoff was a smooth one.
Planes take off smoothly in calm weather.
The playoff is tomorrow.
They play off tomorrow.
In more unusual noun forms, a hyphen can really help:
The call-up involved all under-21's.
All under-21's were called up.
I'm generalizing, of course. When in doubt, check some references for what seems most sensible.

Wow, thanks. This is something of a minor visibility, but great importance.

Ok, there's an easy way to internalize this. Take a bunch of phrasal verbs and write out the two forms in single or double sentences:
A weekend is great because the week ends.
And so forth.
