I have a few more doubts. Thank you.
1) I keep fit by doing exercise every day.
2) What are you playing at? (How would you rephrase it?)
3) He is making breakfast on his own/by himself/alone (Do they have the same meaning?)
4) Get moving ! I'm on my way. (How would you rephrase it??)
5) If they don't choose English, we won't be able to join the project.
6) Let's keep our fingers cross and hope that they choose English. (Can I include it in a email?)

Yes, they all have the same meaning.

Start going! I'll be there soon.
