Vingrot

Etymology

From the same stem as vingrs (“agile, strong”), made into a second-conjugation verb (ending -ot). In its present sense, this word was introduced by Atis Kronvalds in the 1870s, apparently based on a pre-existing dialectal term *vingrot or *vingroties (cf. dialectal vinguroties “to squirm, to writhe, to wiggle”).^[1]

Verb

vingrot (intransitive, 2nd conjugation, present vingroju, vingro, vingro, past vingroju)

to exercise, to do (physical) exercises; to do gymnastics
nostājos taisni, nolaižu rokas gar sāniem, pāris reižu dziļi ievelku elpu un sāku vingrot ― standing straight, I lower (my) hands along (my) sides, I breathe in deeply a couple of times and I begin to exercise

viņš nav vājāks, bet pat stiprāks nekā citi puiši, kuri beidza skolu... neviens nav tik daudz vingrojis ar hantelēm kā viņš ― he is not weaker, but stronger than the other boys that finished school... no one has exercised so much with dumbbells

vingrojot jāievēro pareiza elpošana: dziļa ieelpa un iespējami pilnīga izelpa bez elpas aizturēšanas ― (when) exercising, one must pay attention to (one's) correct breathing: inhale deeply and exhale as fully as possible without keeping the air (in)
