A character is upset. Really, really upset. They need something constructive to do with themselves to let off some steam, but art takes too much time, they don't want to break anything, and they aren't about to destroy themselves with Comfort Food, a Cigarette of Anxiety, or by drinking, so what else can they do? Well, when someone has a lot of pent-up frustration and just can't sit still, a common way to handle the situation is by picking up some weights and exercising the pain away.
This works for a multitude of reasons. The activity gives them something else to focus on, while also allowing them to keep moving. They get to do something productive and healthy for both their body and their mind, burning calories while letting their emotions out. This may even serve as a good way to let the audience and other characters know this character is angry- after all, if a character who usually has no physical ability is found furiously lifting weights in their room, something isn't quite right.
Another big reason for this may involve the opinions of other characters. If this is someone looked down upon for being weak, especially if they're a male, this emotion-borne act may signify that they're finally done with being mocked, letting their hurt feelings inspire them to become the strong person they believe they need to be.
Of course, this need not be a literal trip to the gym. Characters can throw themselves into sports, physical training, or even a fight, so long as the intent is that they're using these activities to take out their anger while getting stronger.
This method is particularly helpful for a few characters, mostly those who can't or don't want to express their emotions in a "weak" way. "Macho" men, for example, may find emotion to be a weakness, and so deal with it through physical activity, because beating up a punching-bag or doing sprints around the track is a lot manlier than letting their feelings show. That said, this trope can apply to any sort of character, regardless of how "tough" they usually are.
Truth in Television; this is a common way people deal with stress in real life.
Compare Angry Dance and Dance of Despair, other ways a character can use physical activity to deal with their emotions, as well as Percussive Therapy, where anger is taken out by beating someone or something, and Hulking Out, where a person literally gets stronger as they become angrier. This may lead to Workout Fanservice or Kingpin in His Gym.

Kitty from The Secret Life of Kitty Granger has felt for years like there's a coiled spring inside her that grows tighter with each moment of stress. When she joins The Orchestra, her training begins with several weeks of intense exercise, which physically exhausts her but also makes the spring feel looser and looser. By the time she starts martial arts training, she feels better than she has in her life, and her superiors are impressed by her boundless energy.

Crusader Kings III: Working out through athletics is a stress-coping mechanism available to certain personalities or which you can take up on your own accord by taking the Medicine focus. It's one of the most benign stress-managing activities, giving the character a small health bonus, counteracting obesity (as they stay in shape) and only causes a small opinion penalty whenever you work out because of the smell.

In Child of the Storm sequel Ghosts of the Past:
Steve Rogers spots a teenage Carol Danvers (his great-granddaughter) punching a boxing bag specifically designed for him (after she broke the previous one), all technique thrown out of the window. Turns out that she just discovered how Yelena Belova sexually assaulted her Best Friend/potential Love Interest Harry.
This turns into a trend, when chapter 66 shows that she's broken one again - for similar reasons. Natasha informs her that breaking punchbags is beginner level, and instead offers to spar with her. And by 'spar', she means 'kick the crap out of her for half an hour'. It's successful in burning off the angry chemicals.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: In "Ag2O", Batou is ordered to investigate a former Paralympic silver medalist who might be spying on the state. After getting to know Zaitsev, he finds out that he actually leads a pretty good life — a supporting wife, a nice house, stable income. At the end of the episode, Zaitsev becomes a Broken Pedestal for Batou, because his idol really was running numbers. After Batou put him away, he returns to Section 9 to let out his frustration. Throwing away the natural oil that he gave to the Tachikomas prior, as well as the bottle of honey mead that Zaitsev's wife gave him, he takes out his anger on a punching bag.

The Rigel Black Chronicles: Lycanthropy is hard on the body, but even harder on the mind, so Remus Lupin maintains a high level of fitness in both, not just occasionally venting frustration but regularly training and getting stronger in order to cope with the monthly ordeal. Those who don't, tend to break within a few years and either die or surrender to the wolf.

In the Guardians of Ga'Hoole guidebook, Ezylryb starts dating the very same girl that his younger brother, Ifghar, is secretly nursing a crush on. Ifghar is distraught but wants them to be happy, so he throws himself into missions and combat training, becoming faster and stronger than he's ever been before. And then, one day, he sees the couple out together...and realizes he isn't hurting anymore. note In that version of the story, anyway. Future installments in the series depict Ifghar as a Card-Carrying Villain.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990): A scene mostly deleted from the film (but shown in its novelization and comic book adaptation) shows that during the Turtles' retreat to April's old family farm, Michelangelo spends most of his time training in the barn by himself, pummeling a bag hard enough to snap the rope holding it up, and he even goes on to start breaking several other items before breaking one of the barn's walls with a punch. It becomes quite clear that out of the Turtles, he was hit the hardest by Splinter's kidnapping earlier in the film. April herself even takes note of how different Mikey has become.

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi has a scene in which Lan Wangji kisses a blindfolded Wei Wuxian. He backs away before the blindfold can be removed and when it is, all Wei Wuxian notices is Lan Wangji punching trees. This is extremely abnormal as the latter doesn't outwardly express his emotions and Wei Wuxian's inability to connect the dots makes the situation all the worse.

House of Anubis:
When Mick is frustrated after a bad call with his dad, he tells Mara he's going out for a run.
Season 3 reveals that Mara, known for being an unathletic nerd, takes out her anger in work-out sessions in her bedroom. This comes as a surprise to the other girls, who find her furious weight-lifting to be rather funny and unusual.

Alison from Language Arts was hit hard by 9/11, which killed two of her friends. She coped by throwing herself into aikido so hard that Charles felt like a single parent.
