I’ve tried this approach, and although it works well during the early part of the game, in the late game, a single turn can take 5-10 minutes, which is much less helpful as an exercise interlude.
I guess it depends on whether you are trying to maximize the amount of [exercise X] you do, or whether there’s a fixed quantity of [exercise X] that you are trying to force yourself to do. If the latter, obviously it will take longer if you do it while playing Civ but that’s not necessarily a problem.
Civ is famous for “just one more turn”—maybe you can hide whatever it is in between turns?
