41. Define "healthier". Also define "paid".
I bet a lot of companies will define healthier simply as "lost weight", which may or may not happen for me regardless of what I do. Actually, I take that back. Make that "probably won't happen".

Now, if they will pay me to keep my BP, cholesterol and blood sugars in a healthy range, that I would be more likely to work on if I had incentive to do so. But then again, I'm already pretty good on all three of those things on a regular basis.

And how much are we talking about here? For instance, I think an hour's worth of pay for an hour's worth of exercise would be incentive enough for me to make sure that I don't skip my workouts.
