You could try and do things you enjoy doing together you don't even have to be doing the same things. I like running, my wife likes bike riding, we some-times do it together. You mentioned a long hike here and there, try to build up to doing them with her more commonly, stay on her ass about it. Make it some-thing you do together, Maybe some sport you both enjoy, friz-bee, hell anything.
Also keep in mind some people look good but can't jog ten feet down the road, try to badger her to do things together, things that improve all aspects of health, maybe if she feels more energy she'll be inspired.
People need to want to do things for themselves, but other people can inspire them. My wife inspired me greatly to get into fitness, hell, even complete strangers I've never met. Also keep in mind people don't change over-night, it might not be common but it does happen, and if you love that person some-times patience is necessary.
It doesn't take long to become truly fit(real strength takes longer) and excel at certain tasks if you drive hard at it and with some dedication in a year or two you might find that she's a better runner than you are, or a better endurance athlete or etc. I do know exactly how bad some people are, how in-grained habits and beliefs can be but there's always hope, so good luck!
Some of these suggestions here, probably aren't helpful if you actually care about the person and don't want to shatter them emotionally. That's always a gamble. It's always a good idea to take steps before a health scare though. GL
