Exercise illegal occupation (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

squat

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'exercise' is the first definition.
(squat is a kind of exercise)

'illegal occupation' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for squat that I've seen before include "Illegally occupy property" , "Short and dumpy; occupy building" , "Short and wide" , "residence occupied" , "Crouch - occupy a dwelling illegally - short and stocky" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
