We soft-opened our gym in September 2012. A month or two later, my mom, Rosa Maria Olalde, became seriously ill after being diagnosed with leukemia. It was an incredibly difficult time for our family. She lived in El Paso, so I spent a lot of time traveling back and forth to be with her while also trying to get the gym off the ground.

During that time, Liliana carried a tremendous load. While I was traveling to see my mom, she was often running the gym on her own and making sure everything continued moving forward during those challenging months.

On December 3, 2012, Rosa Maria lost her battle with leukemia.

We created this workout in her honor and complete it each year on her birthday. Today is Rosa Maria Olalde's birthday, and she would have been 77 years old.

My mom is where I got my sense of humor, and anyone who knew her understood why. We miss her every day, but we're grateful for the opportunity to remember her, celebrate her life, and honor her through this workout.
