You could say "I pushed her to get used to doing exercises on the weekends" that would a grammatically correct or you could say "I helped her get used to doing exercises every weekend." both would work. Hope this helps

Hi, Javi I made her get used to exercising on the weekends. I made her get used to doing exercises on the weekends. It means that she was gently forced or strongly encouraged to adjust to exercising on the weekends. She was repeatedly urged or pressured to exercise every weekend. She was 'forced' to do something that was good for her. Longman Dictionary be/get used to (doing) something: to have experienced something so that it no longer seems surprising, difficult, strange etc - I do the dishes every day, so I’m used to it. -I can’t get used to the idea that you’re grown up now. FORCE [transitive] to force someone to do something/make somebody do something - My parents always make me do my homework before I go out. be made to do something - I was made to wait four hours before I was examined by a doctor. Cambridge Dictionary get used to something/somebody:to become familiar with something or someone: -Eventually you'll get used to the smells of the laboratory. -[ + -ing verb ] I just can't get used to getting up early. make verb (FORCE):to force someone or something to do something: -Ambition will make you get up off your sofa and go out and work for what you want. on the weekends (with an s): usually or often done last weekend next weekend over the weekend etc... on (the) weekends/on the weekend (American) at weekends/at the weekend (UK)

I’m not sure if it’s the only grammatically correct form, but I’ve heard “get used to doing smth” more often. so I’d say “I made her get used to doing exercises on the weekends”
