Of course, I'd obviously prescribe cycling as the best way to become healthier. United could set up a special section of the plane with a smart trainer and Zwift, and Tom could do a lap or two of Watopia Island each trip. For those aware of Strava, imagine the KOMs and speeds he could nail! Guaranteed his VAMs (vertical meter climb rate/hour) would be off the charts.
As a 200+ night/yr traveler, I can tell you the biggest challenge overall is healthy eating. It is very difficult to stay motivated to find healthy eating options when the work and travel consume literally 12-15 hours of every work day.
