Learn Swedish: Hon tränar ofta hemma. - She often exercises at home.

In Swedish main clauses, the verb usually comes in the second position (this is known as the V2 rule). Because Hon (She) is in the first position, the verb tränar (exercises) must come next. Adverbs of frequency like ofta (often) are placed right after that verb.

Can tränar mean both 'practice' and 'exercise'?

Yes! Tränar is used for doing physical exercise (working out) as well as practicing a skill, like playing an instrument or speaking a language. In this sentence, it most likely means physical exercise.

Why is the word for home hemma here instead of hem?

Swedish uses different words for being at a location versus traveling to a destination. You use hemma when someone is already stationary at home. You use hem when there is movement towards the home, like walking or driving there. Since she is already at home exercising, we use hemma.

Does Hon tränar ofta translate to 'She often exercises' or 'She is often exercising'?

It can be both! Swedish does not have a separate continuous tense like the English '-ing' form. Hon tränar covers both 'she exercises' and 'she is exercising.' Here, the adverb ofta makes it clear that this is a repeated habit.
