This seems to be teaching me that a 都 following a 每 changes it from "every" to "every single". Great tip thanks Duo!
Yes. Without 都, the translated sentence has more generic meaning, which suggests
I work out every day.
instead of
I work out every single day.
Sentences without 都 suggest indefinite occurrence (it is possible that for some days this event does not occur), whereas sentences with 都 clearly demonstrates definite occurrence (every day this event occurs).

Just wondering, are "to exercise" and "to work out" basically synonyms? I put 我每天都_运动_。Can I use "运动" in this sentence?
