He's probably looking for some kind of philosophical motivation for getting fit, cause vanity by itself is lacking in meaning, maybe something like

>And because the body is in a bad condition, loss of memory, depression, discontent, insanity often assail the mind so violently as to drive whatever knowledge it contains clean out of it. But a sound and healthy body is a strong protection to a man, and at least there is no danger then of such a calamity happening to him through physical weakness: on the contrary, it is likely that his sound condition will serve to produce effects the opposite of those that arise from bad condition. And surely a man of sense would submit to anything to obtain the effects that are the opposite of those mentioned in my list.

>Besides, it is a disgrace to grow old through sheer carelessness before seeing what manner of man you may become by developing your bodily strength and beauty to their highest limit. But you cannot see that, if you are careless; for it will not come of its own accord.

Probably something by Aristotle. I believe he was obsessed with getting ripped. Or was it Socrates? I wouldn't know since I'm retarded and haven't read that much Greek philosophy.
