How do you say ''work out'' in Japanese; I mean how can I express that I went to exercise? I have seen 運動 and うんどう but I'm not sure if they share the same meaning.

運動 usually means moving your body for mainly health or fun. So, I think it is right. I went to exercise ≒ 私は運動に行きました。or 私は運動をしにいきました。 you can also ues エクササイズ instead of  運動, it is more directly interpreted, I think. addition If subject of [ work out ] is not human, when [work out] means to go well, 運動 can not be used. technical: 運動 also be used for express moving itself. So, if you find 運動 in some scientific contexts, it often means just moving. e.g. 惑星の運動(moving of planets) 運動量(power of moving) etc.
