One of the up-and-coming stars of opera is native Coloradan Keith Miller, whom you may recall from such "Live in HD" bass-baritone roles as Zuniga in "Carmen" and Rochefort in "Anna Bolena."
[BTW: He's currently singing here in Denver in Catan's "Florencia en el Amazonas."]
He's a former college and Arena football player who has started a series of classes for prospective opera singers that emphasizes the physical aspect of performing, concentrating on muscle tone, flexibility and athleticism. it all seems to make sense, especially with directors seeming to demand more from their singers than a stand-and-deliver approach to performing.
Exercise helps with the breath as well.
