Did god work on shabbat?
G-d did not create anything new on Shabbat; the 7th day of rest. All of creation was completed in the first 6 days of creation. Since then G-d has been maintaining the world, but not creating anything new. To commemorate this, Judaism defines 39 categories of creative work which are forbidden on Shabbat. E.g.: baking, planting and lighting fires. See http://www.answers.com/topic/39-categories-of-activity-prohibited-on-shabbat for an introduction to these 39 categories.
What can't you do on Shabbat?

What things are Jews allowed to do at shabbat?
Anything that is not one of the 39 forms of forbidden creative work.
Is exercising allowed on Shabbat?
Not really. There is no express prohibition on exercising on Shabbat, but there are numerous general prohibitions which would make exercising de facto impossible. For example: a person cannot shower or use a towel on shabbat, nor any electrical exercise equipment, nor expend any monies to travel or go to a gym. Additionally, a Jew must dress in his best clothes during Shabbat, so exercise attire would be out (and who wants to sweat in a suit?).
What marks a sabbath day's journey?
"A Sabbath day's journey" isn't a phrase used by Jews, it's Christian in origin. It's related to the prohibitions against work that apply to Shabbat which means that religiously observant Jews cannot travel by any means other than walking to Shabbat. This limits a journey to the distance a person can walk.
