COT:

Cinco de Mayo isn’t Mexico’s Independence Day — that’s a common myth. Instead, it commemorates the Battle of Puebla in 1862, when a small, under-equipped Mexican force defeated the French army, one of the strongest in the world at the time. Outnumbered and outgunned, the Mexicans stood their ground and protected their homeland.

So why does that matter to us? Because this workout — and life — isn’t about having the perfect conditions. It’s about grit, unity, and heart. Just like those soldiers at Puebla, we show up, we fight together, and we leave no man behind.
