Maria Lee is a 56 year old amazing women! She is happily married, a proud mom of six grown children and two beautiful grandchildren with two more on the way!
Maria's family is the focus of her life and brings her the most joy and satisfaction. In the Lee house hold you will find some sort of celebration being planned or executed and if not, it's always a big party when they are all together!
Maria joined the Total Reset program in July 2016. Her primary goal was to look in the mirror and like what was looking back at her. That meant she had some weight to lose and knew it was going to take some effort to do just that.
When asked what advice Maria would give someone who was thinking about joining the Warrior and Total Reset program she said "If someone is thinking about it, then it means that they are looking for something...to lose weight, gain a healthier lifestyle, gain strength, be more fit, etc... Just try it. If it's not for you, you haven't lost anything but have gained knowledge and some positive physical gains. If this program works for you, then you have stumbled upon something that is life-changing! Just try it!"

A Quote From A Coach:
"Maria holds herself accountable day in and day out. She comes to class to work out and push herself out of her comfort zone. She strives to be stronger and faster after having 6 kids! She's a super Mom and Grandma!!"

Since joining the program Maria has met her goal. She has lost 60 pounds, truly likes what she sees in the mirror and knows that lady looking back at her has worked hard! One of Maria's biggest accomplishments, besides losing weight, is that she can now run. When Maria started, when her choice was to either "Run 1 lap or row 135 meters," she always rowed. Maria was coming off a procedure to mend a torn meniscus. Maria said "The doctor told me that to get back to a "healthy" knee, I should strengthen the muscles that support my knee and take some weight off my knee. Well, Reset did all that for me. When I started, I couldn't run, couldn't jump rope, couldn't do a jumping jack, or a frog stretch. Now I can do all those things and my knee doesn't hurt and is completely healed."
Another positive change since joining the program is that Maria doesn't always finish last. At first that was hard for her, and she felt embarrassed, however in some ways, she was proud of that. Maria always told herself that she was there for herself and she was going to do this all the way. And she did, and still does. Today in the Reset classes Maria may still finish last sometimes and she is completely fine with that, as long as she knows she is pushing herself.
Of all the accomplishments Maria's favorite is how much her metabolic age has improved! She started with a metabolic age of 82 at her first weigh in, and now her metabolic age is 25!

A Quote from a Coach:
"Maria is a true inspiration! She comes to every single work out focused on the task at hand, yet can brighten anyone's day with her smile and spunky personality. She continues to surprise herself at every workout by seeing how much further she can push herself. For example in the picture above Maria maxed out holding a plank for 3 minutes straight."

When asked what Maria enjoyed most about the program, she said
"I have liked the results! If you commit to the program, it works! And surprisingly, I truly enjoy the relationships that I have made with my fellow participants. I was anxious about being in a group workout program. But the support and accountability are factors that make this program successful. I look forward to seeing familiar faces and knowing that we are sharing the same challenges and rewards."
Maria also wanted to say that "Pam and my fellow Reset friends have been so supportive and encouraging as I worked hard to achieve my fitness goals. It has been wonderful to share my triumphs. But truly, I know the hard part is ahead. To maintain this lifestyle and commitment to fitness and healthy food choices is going to be difficult. My heroes are all of those in Reset who are there regularly and working through the struggles of maintaining these lifestyle choices over YEARS! Those people are my inspiration! I show up for class, and there they are. Week after week. They have lost weight, (maybe put some back on) but they are there, ready to RESET and walk that line of being healthy but enjoying food and life! They are my inspiration as we move forward together as Tribe members!"
