His message is simple: If you have a very demanding job, you need to find a work-life blend.“An hour in the gym is exercise,” Scott told The Associated Press. “But it’s just one form of exercise.”

Scott coaches about 70 business executives — online and otherwise — and other busy people to improve their physical and professional well-being. He’s based in New York and is relatively hardcore about his own exercise but realizes not everyone can be — or wants to be.He’s planning to run across the Grand Canyon in June — the out-and-back version — that covers about 46 miles (74 kilometers). He also has guided his blind friend Dan Berlin on several endurance events including a speed ascent up Mount Kilimanjaro and tandem cycling across the United States with a team of blind cyclists.Rather than terming it exercise, Scott talks about teaching “intentional movement” to his goal-driven clients.

“The ambitious person’s trap is when you undermine your physical and emotional health in pursuit of your professional goals,” he said. “It’s common in this culture among the executives I mentor.”Scott asks busy people to focus on something other than making money or chasing fame inside the profession. He said he tries to emphasize a holistic approach that includes the emotional, the professional and the physical.

“Our bodies need to move,” he said. “No matter what age you are, our bodies must move to stay healthy. So if you’re not exercising, you’re out of alignment.”

Scott has a list of ways to blend movement into your day without needing a gym. Of course, if you can hit the gym, that’s great, too.A makeshift tent camp for displaced Palestinians stretches across the port of Gaza City on Thursday, May 22, 2025. (AP Photo/Jehad Alshrafi)
