Spouse exercising for health (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

other half

'spouse' is the definition.
(informal term for a partner or spouse)

'exercising for health' is the wordplay.
'exercising' indicates anagramming the letters (letters exercise or move around).
'for'+'health'='forhealth'
'forhealth' anagrammed gives 'OTHER HALF'.

(Other definitions for other half that I've seen before include "partner" , "Spouse" , "Wife or hubby" , "people better off than us?" , "Dutch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
