Exercise makes doctor unwell (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drill

'exercise' is the definition.
(I know that exercise can be written as drill)

'doctor unwell' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'Dr' (abbreviation).
'unwell' becomes 'i'll' (similar in meaning).
'dr'+'ill'='DRILL'

'makes' is the link.

(Other definitions for drill that I've seen before include "Tool for boring holes" , "Tool, instruction" , "Exercise by repeated practice - bore" , "Seed machine; baboon" , "Monkey" .)
