Copy workout, but with reserve? (8,4)
I believe the answer is:
exercise book
'copy' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'workout but with reserve?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'workout' could be 'exercise' (synonyms) and 'exercise' is found within the answer.
'reserve?' could be 'book' (to book something is to reserve it) and 'book' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for exercise book that I've seen is " School item".)
