the meaning of them are completely differant, aren’t they? what state we must use in each?

He used to wake up at 6 AM in the morning (but now he does not)
He is used to waking up at 6 AM in the morning (he is accustomed to waking up at 6 AM)

Hope this explains the matter.

I used to excersise three to four times a week, not anymore.

I am used to go on vacation with my sister family, I can not feel as happy as with her.

Is it clear now?

Actually in your last example it should be “I am used to going on vacatio with…”.

Subject + used to + infinitive (no preposition) = what you did repetatively in the past and what you no longer do.

e.g. She used to eat croissants when she was not celiac.

Subject + conjugation of to be in present tense + used to + gerund = what you are accustomed to doing in the present (although this can essentially touch the past and future).

e.g. She is used to eating croissants. She has done it for 2 years.
