I haven't seen the show, but one reason why I started adding lifting weights into my regular routine was because I realized one day that I wouldn't be able to keep up with my son or, worse, get him out of the top bunk where he sleeps if there were a fire or some other emergency. He's autistic and wouldn't really be able to save himself (physically capable, but wouldn't understand what was going on or what to do). Realizing that he's not getting any smaller so I'd have to get stronger was a big motivation to get and stay in shape!
