The role of Chief Marketing Officers is growing day by day. With all the advancements in technology and sophistication of the web over the past decade, marketing is truly becoming a task that never sleeps.

That being said, factoring the time to stay fit can be extremely difficult in this high-level position. As a good deal of the job involves sitting at a desk staring at a computer screen, making an effort to prioritize fitness is absolutely essential for a long, fruitful life. Studies have found that sitting too much can be detrimental to your health. Some even indicate that it’s worse than smoking.

As busy as CMOs are, there are plenty of ways to stay fit both inside and outside the gym. Here are a few key points to consider.

Create a Routine and Stick to it

While the finer details of a CMO’s routine will vary quite a bit, adopting a reliable structure that budgets the appropriate amount of time to address both physical and mental health is critical for staying fit and avoiding burnout.

In addition to waking up at the same time, eating breakfast, and showering in the morning, a good strategy to get through the work day is to block up your time. For instance, try to keep your “screen time” separated into blocks of 25 minutes. In between, take 5 or so minutes to stand up and move around to keep the blood moving.

Either before or after business hours, try to budget an hour or so 2-3 days a week to work out. Going beyond staying fit, hitting the gym is a great way to disconnect for a while and blow off steam.
