Tips to remember the Japanese word:
Imagine a cat (かつ) doing an activity (どう) to help you remember かつどう.

Explanations:
かつどう (katsudou) refers to any kind of activity or endeavor, encompassing a wide range of actions from physical activities to more abstract or organizational efforts.

Other words that mean the same thing:

– 運動 (うんどう, undou) – exercise, but can sometimes be interpreted as activity depending on the context
