Character Breakdown

Usage of 锻炼

Notes

When using 锻炼, the focus is on active improvement or training, whether physical or mental. It differs from simply "playing" or "doing sports" because it implies a purposeful effort to become stronger or better. Avoid confusing 锻炼 with 运动, which is a more general term for sports or physical activity without the explicit nuance of training or improvement.
