A good option here is to have a variety of wellness courses on offer. E.g. some students want to get healthy. I'm in a 120 challenge course right now. I know I never would have taken it without the coercion, but now I'm glad I'm forced to do it. Other students will want sports (tennis, soccer, etc. are options) while others want to pretend they're not just exercising (ninja training, humans vs zombies, Nerf gun battles, etc). As the article points out, there is an innate laziness in most people. My natural tendency is laziness. Even the fit, athletic, body building people I talk to report really struggling to keep their motivation. Even people who like exercise often have to force themselves to do it. As long as there are palatable options, the coercion here isn't going to make people any more likely to not exercise later in life because humans are already really bad at that. Ideally the coercion would help remind students of the value of exercise building lifelong habit. If that doesn't work out, at least they'll have exercised at all in their adult life.
