How do I motivate my wife to lead a more active lifestyle ?

Question by Lab Accident: How do I motivate my wife to lead a more active lifestyle ?
She tells me she wants to get in better physical shape, and I buy her all of the equipment she needs, the running shoes, the outfits, the pilates mat and ball, the videotapes, the baby jogger, the iPod, but she never does anything. Am I being manipulated, or is there something else I can do to get her motivated without getting angry?

Serious answers only. Thank You.

Not really. You can’t make her do it, she has to want to do it. Never mention her weight or anything related to it or you WILL be sleeping on the couch or in the doghouse.
