"Work out" in this context means that the speaker
performed some kind of physical exercises... for
an hour and a half each evening. The speaker might
have meant lifting weights, walking on a tread mill or inclined ramp, etc., or even riding on one of those stationary bicycles to work up a good sweat.

'Work out' is a phrase that has crept into the English language in recent years to describe a period of exercise, usually involving weight lifting or gym work. It's inception is, no doubt, in connection with the work involved in a particular set of exercises to achieve the desired result. So when you have completed them you have 'worked them out' or 'worked out'.

"Work out". Exercise. Engage in repetitive, physically strenuous activity meant to refine the human body's athletic ability.
