And you're way more likely to make that back in healthcare dollars saved. Not sure how I'd make the logistics work though.

I'd introduce Participaction Day fitness testing for everybody. With each level of performance achieved, you get some more tax credits. Imagine if you could do the standing long jump and score a 2.3m and gain $40 in tax relief? I bet everybody would be training year round. 100 curl-ups? WHAM $60! 25 push-ups? Howabout another 30 bucks, Jack?
