As a remote worker aiming for promotion, how can I maintain a consistent sports or fitness routine around meetings and deadlines, make the most of employer wellness benefits or flexible hours, and demonstrate that regular exercise improves my productivity and career prospects?

You asked how to keep fit while pushing for a promotion and remote work - great question. I tried this once, kind of oddly starting every day with a 15-minute yoga routine before emails, and it changed my rhythm. A bit clumsy at first but then steady. Block calendar time as if it's a meeting: label it "Workout - do not reschedule" and invite a colleague when possible so accountability exists. Short, intense sessions work around deadlines. Walking meetings replace some calls. Use wellness stipends for classes or a standing desk, and negotiate flexible hours so you train when you're sharp. Track outcomes: mark focus, number of deep-work hours, task completion, mood, sleep, and sick days for two weeks before and after a routine change. Present those metrics and a short narrative to your manager showing correlation with productivity and fewer errors. No miracle, just consistent, measurable habits that speak to performance. For what it's worth, managers notice sustained, quantifiable gains.
