It typically refers to a training routine that people do to stay healthy, such as lifting weights or jogging. It also refers to other types of training and practice such as a military exercise.

In a larger verbal sense, it means "to use". Thus we talk about exercising emergency powers, or exercising executive prerogative, or exercising a right to do something, or exercising your mental powers. Its specialized sense comes from exercising or using your muscles to make them stronger.
