You guys need to have a health retreat in that gorgeous setting. You could do meals and yoga courtesy of Cara and foraging and life advice with Markus. Lots of hikes out there. It’d be wonderful!
I love this video, It's wonderful to see Cara so ecstatic! please Marcus don't tell Cara to get to the point, we love her personality and want to hear everything she says
Whatever, Markus! I love hearing Cara talk! It's one thing to explain something logically, but, to express it by colorfully spewing real first hand experience with such enthusiasm is inspiring and influential ❤💃💋
Mark, Cara is amazing and her personality is so magical and innocent. Cherish this woman!! We all feel like we know her dearly. Love you guys so much, I’m in my mid 20s but you guys have way more energy than me. I inspire to be healthier and work out more and I feel like that’s when I felt my best! Been vegan for 5 years thanks to you guys and a couple others. Thank you for all you do ❤️
Cara your enthusiasm is so inspiring...I could listen to you and Markus all day long...trust me, I was excited🤗 to see that this video was a LONG one! I incorporated weights in my 30s and 40s, but fell off the wagon the past 5 years...funny I decided to lift weights again and lost 10 lbs in the month of June...I too feel amazing again!! My joints don't hurt and my flexibility has come back, also my skin has tightened up again...I'm on fire... no one thinks I'm near my age of 52! Thank you lady, you are beautiful inside and out!💞😘✌
Cara, surgery is not the key to pain. I had 5 surgeries on my left leg and it has gotten worst with lots of swelling. So now I am cleansing. I am 70 year young and my goal is to be in perfect health by the time I reach 73. I have to give myself this time because I have to undo what I have done to my body from eating meat, poultry and fish. In my culture (Puerto Rican) in consider nourishing. In my fifties I started having all kinds of health issues that I thought I needed surgery until I started reading about alternative foods. Now I am taking my steps at a gradient level to get to my journey. It is a lot of work but I am not complaining because I got myself into this. Since, this epidemic I have not gone to the doctor for my pressure. I want to be healthy again like in my thirties. I never went to a doctor until I became a government employee where I was exposed to many many unhealthy conditions. I have paid the price for the past 20 years. What bothers me is that because of my age the doctors' don't work with the seniors' unless you take the drugs they give you. I was considered a senior at the age of 55 years young. This is when I was suppose to have a better life. I really thank you for this video because it is a new beginning for me. I don't plan to get old. I am going to get younger. Again, thank you for your wisdom and knowledge that you share with the world. I am going back to reading your 101 book and do some meals from your book. This week has been a blessing to me to change my health around through Facebook. I received your video. This is great!
I will be 67 years of age on the 23rd of July. I go to the gym for Zumba 3x a day. Yesterday, one of my co-workers thought I was 45 :) !!! Love you both. Markus I've been following you pre-Cara. Very glad that she is in your life and mine!
You've got an outlier here- I live to workout! For mental as well as physical. It's one of the highlights of my day- almost everyday. Hot yoga, running, power-walking, rollerskating. Can't get enough of those natural endorphins.
I’m already working out and eating mostly raw but don’t have the energy levels or muscles I’d like for 59. My goal is to go into my 60s in really great shape to avoid the problems of aging and to just feel good about my life. Cara’s enthusiasm is just what I needed to work harder and get to the next level. Can’t wait for the next video...bring it on Markus and Cara! 💪🏽❤️❤️
I really think this is the best video on the internet right now, I never felt more inspired! Also I never comment but you guys made me do it! Thank you very much! Love you guys
Yesterday I took cara's advice to just go and do something, I was not thrilled about just taking a walk and so ,I decided to play two sports outside with my family. We played soccer and tennis, soccer was more invigorating, and really got me moving. However I was like man im really out of shape, it would be great to play soccer when im in the best shape of my life. It also help my daughter realize the positive effects on moving her body. So I plan to do this more often play sports and just make movement and exercise fun. Thanks cara for being more in the spotlight these days, its really helped me, I also appreciate all you do to markus. Thanks a bunch😁👍
The blender does not "pre-digest" your food. It breaks it down mechanically, not chemically...you still need to keep it in your mouth to get it mixed with saliva..THAT's crutial for good digestion and absorption.
Ahhh Caras excitement is just the sweetest most genuine thing. So happy for her feeling so well. Thank u so much for the inspo, i really need to start moving more... 💪🏼🤸♀️
I'm thankful for this video. I work at a health food store and because of this video I was able to share with a boy needing to gain weight who is trying to get into the air force how to get maximum benefit from weight lifting to gain the mass. Thank you, Markus and Cara. 💖
Love your excitement, Cara. It is inspiring and motivating! I’m 53 and the timing is perfect! I too am skinny and healthy but need to make some changes and get some strength and muscle!
Just started following you guys. I started working out with weights in February 4 times a week. Then I added cardio 2 times a week. Just had blood work done. WOW. It was fantastic. The best I have seen in 10 years. I am 52! So happy. I have also reduced the amount of sugar I take in. When you get motivated, you get motivated. Stay strong!
Cara is my favorite person, love her videos! She is a true definition of vibrant energy and health. And I love that she eats so many salads, this is how you stay nourished long term.Eat your veggies! 🥬🥒🥦
I can totally relate to Cara. I have a trainer and YES! It’s your life insurance, I would rather fork out money on a trainer than for doctor appointments and medication. I am a cancer survivor (6years in remission) before cancer 110lbs after cancer 210lbs and couldn’t lose the weight. last year got diagnosed all at once after being sick and bed ridden...diabetes , high blood pressure, hypothyroidism, arthritis, H. Pylori, high cholesterol. October 2019 been on a health binge IS WHEN I FOUND YOU BOTH. Since I am currently 138lbs no longer have ANY ALIMENTS besides arthritis and soon will be getting off all my meds. Love love love you both
This video convinced me! Thank you so much Cara for your enthusiasm. I was so active but wasn't committed to raw diet and inflammation set in. Got severe plantar fasciitis and got depressed then didn't move like normal for a week. Your excitement reminded me and totally inspired me to go 100%.! I'm crying happiness
This video is totally inspiring and motivating. Cara's happiness and Markus' knowledge are a really good combination. I can't wait to find out about the smoothie. I am going to work out now.
Love the energy! 40 over here and love working out regularly. I do agree nutrition after is so important and provides the energy your body needs for repairing your body. Smoothies are my favorite after workout drink. I have seen improvements in my energy levels and that is what matters to me most.
I do understand and feel the way CARA DOES,I know the way you feel is REAL,you will be BURSTING with ENERGY,weight training and proper nutrition and the WILL to CHANGE is the KEY,cant wait for the exercises you will blog,LOVE both of you for all the GENEROSITY by guiding us who really are interested to LIVE LIFE the HEALTHIEST
Love love this video! I've never seen Cara so alive and excited. Soooo Awesome! I have gotten to know Cara more as a reserved and shy person in front of the camera. Looking forward to seeing and using your workout smoothy recipes and training workout videos! Rock on!
Cara your energy is contagious! I am so excited about the upcoming videos! YAY! We get to work out with you in the near future! Cara, you can talk for hours, I would never get tired of watching. You are the best role model for health, beauty, love, positive thinking. Thank you!
Although I am not totally raw and still have to cook for my meat and potatoes husband. I see him swaying my way as I continue on my journey. You both have taught me and continue to teach me so much. Thank you both
You are beautiful, Cara! I support your joy and excitement!! Not too many people are willing to show it or share with others! Proud of your hard work!! Thank you!!!!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you so much from across The Pond (Scotland) for your great vids. I became hooked on you guys at least a year ago when I went from vegetarian to vegan. I'm a 45 yr old mum to 3 kids and aiming to increase my fitness, vitality etc. You're both a great inspiration. Bigg hugs xx
Got my Markus protein and made my first smoothie today. Yeah. Great flavor mixed with half a raw apple a frozen banana a few frozen blueberries and strawberries and a cup of macadamia milk. Weight bearing is absolutely the key. In the 10k steps a day club at 67.
THANK YOU BOTH! I've went from daily excruciating GERD w/ esophageal spasms, chronic fatigue, depression, and muscle pain to feeling 95% better in only a week! Zero heartburn in sight FROM DAY 1 and I've actually had energy! I tossed the proton pump inhibitors, went to the store, & bought coconut water kefir (making it next time), apple cider vinegar w/ mothers, water (non-alkaline), another liquid probiotic with several strains, good veggies, nuts, and a few fruits with good digestive enzymes. I also started chewing everything REALLY well (I didn't realize how poorly I was doing this), eating better portion sizes, and exercising again. I've been following the advice in y'alls videos and it's made a substantial change in my life! I'm going to order your 3-in-1 Green Protein Vit. C formula, Parasite-Free detox, and some Ledidi Berries this week. Btw I appreciate the transparency & quality of ingredients you use. I'm still a work in progress, but I'll be shouting your praises in TN!! :)
I used to be depressed and I was so tired all the time, I wanted to sleep the whole day, because life leaves your body when you give up, so you have to bring life back by physical activity like walking, bicycle or exercise but preferably something more fulfilling like yoga, parkour or dancing and then intellectual stimulation like for example reading books, playing music or doing art and finally, and most importantly, you have to try different things and find passion, then you’ll feel like Cara in this video
I love this revelation Cara and Markus. I have been doing a yoga sculpt class with weights and it likewise has been life changing. I am 46 and do a morning smoothie. I have weight to lose. I crave feeling that burn. I love feeling stronger in my whole body and having more energy. I agree with the form. Thanks guys!
I hear and feel you Cara I really do. I think I’ll document my journey starting now. I ordered a bunch of products from you. I said when it comes I’ll start, no more excuses. I can start by like Markus says “stop what’s causing the problem in the first place” and make better choices NOW! Thank you guys for being you❤️
Thanks for the video, Cara! Your enthusiasm is so infectious! The only other times I have seen you have this much enthusiasm is when you are cooking. I'm glad that you have found exercising so enjoyable! And Markus's advice regarding smoothies is really good.
Such a fun one. Thanks for the outdoor backdrop...gorgeous. Cara is full on cheerleader to Markus the wise, nutty professor 🥰 Love the dynamic. keep on going kids. thanks for all the good health advice. This was a winner!🔥
I stayed through the whole thing! I was so excited WITH Cara! I am trying to find that for myself. I will be 47 this year. I always thought I was too old to make any kind of difference in my body. Thanks for the inspiration Cara 🤗
Weight lifting actually feels amazing once you establish good mind-muscle connection :) I hate cardio (I'm a salsa dancer so that's my cardio!), but I LOVE lifting weights. Since the pandemic started I have replaced my weight lifting regimen with resistance training at home using bands, and I now like that even more than I like the weight lifting! But good mind-muscle connection is essential -- otherwise it's just a struggle, plus injuries can happen.
I love you Cara! I have been working out forever and ran marathons, but I didn't realize chewing my food or drinking smoothies (which I do) was so much more beneficial for me!!!
3% here...made it through Cara's energy bomb of a video, chuckling all the way!! Lol.... I am the same age as Cara. I have been raw vegan on and off since 2003 but have recently got on the tight and narrow. We are taking/alternating Markus Liver and Kidney formula, plus I am taking Night Rebuild. My husband got us a Concept2 rowing machine at the end of September and I LOVE IT!!! It is a full body work out. I am rowing 7000-10,000 meters every other day, sometimes I give myself 2 day recovery on the heavier days, If it feel it too much still the second night. I already have rowed 188,000plus meters since getting it. Also love my Bellicon Rebounder for lymph movement. Keep it going Markus and Cara, we love you dearly!!
Good for you Cara! We are in the same age group. I have been weight training since 17. I am vegan and 57. My doctor said my muscle mass and bone density is of a 30 year old. That's good enough for me. I have always been committed to exercising to stay out of convalescent homes :)
Truly looking forward to watching your workout tips, Cara. I did 5 months with a trainer and gained zero muscles, despite a higher protein intake and amount of good food. You give me hope!
Thank you so much for this video!!! I’ve been Powerlifting for a year now. I’m about to pull 300lbs in the deadlift. I have fallen in love with muscle development I’m working on my certification in personal training along with nutrition courses. I’m a vegan and follow so many of your recipes. You both are such amazing people. I hope one day I have the opportunity to meet both of you.
Wow! This is exactly what I needed, I noticed the same thing I sit more on the internet I become more depressed and lazy, I also get craving and start coming myself to other people, I completely move that out my way, and started to only watch you guys because you guys keep me going in the best direction! Thank you 😊
Oh my gosh, I absolutely LOVE your passion, joy, enthusiasm and adorableness! I appreciate what you shared in this video (which was a great refresher by the way!) and look forward to learning more!
I just started week 3 with weight training and I am already starting to see my body take a more solid shape which is something I’ve never seen before. I am determined to gain muscle and get more confidence. Thanks for the tip about working out on an empty stomach for weight loss, and then drinking a smoothie right after to help the muscles heal. I am DETERMINED to be one of the few that sees results! Thank you, God-bless!
I just saw this and watched all the way through. This is so Exciting! I’m shocked actually to see Cara make this breakthrough I didn’t even know she needed!!! And I AM inspired! I turn 60 this year and am doing a lot of very healthy lifestyle choices over many years but yes the workout thing slacks off. I do some stuff but I like the challenge and enthusiasm of seeing Cara go through this. Bring it on. I can push myself. Agree. Fasting has helped me so much this year. Shout out to Kristopher Aaron who led a 42 Day fast. Blessings you guys. So happy for you. Bravo. Yes I’m so passionate to share with people to stop running to surgery and pills. It’s a HUGE transformative cultural thing to take responsibility. So 3hrs a week but us older girls need six days a week. I do some yoga and walk at least a brisk mile with my dog. Some speed intervals. But I’ll get the weights out and good posture. And wait for the workout videos coming up from Cara. Thanks Markus too for the protein powder and tips.
Thank you Cara, you have always looked beautiful, great job!! Markus, you are so intuitive about everything, what a blessing and support you are, always, to Cara, and your viewers/fans/friends.
Great video. As a physical therapist I see that people usually quit working out a bit from laziness but a lot comes from getting injured and doing it incorrectly. A lot of the exercise classes at the gym are super intense and a bit overboard in my opinion. Some trainers also go overboard And people get injured. I’m so happy for Cara and in New Jersey the gyms are still closed and I’m feeling that in my quads. Best to you both
You could make an hour long video and I’d probably get more housework done lol Both of your positive attitudes are so very infectious!!! These videos are so inspiring. I have binge watched your channel, during the covid-19 stay at home order and have gotten lots of cleaning done., eaten healthier and been exercising. Thank you so much for your videos 😊
Inspiring and definitely NOT TOO MUCH Cara!! 💛💛 So happy to hear you hit your stride and click with weight training! Been working with weights since I was 11 and got much more serious at 15 and have continued through my life with brief breaks due to toxic marriages. I ALWAYS go back to it because it feels freakin’ amazing. My whole spirit changes. I’m 52 now so thanks for inspiring me to keep at it too!! 🙏🏼💛
Virtually hugging you both as I watch this. Truly you're two of my favorite people. So happy you do videos on a regular basis. Fun, inspiring, supportive, educational - you guys got it all! 💞 Say, do you have a place where fans can submit questions, and maybe you do a video addressing those questions? Would really love that! 🙂
Cara oh, I love your excitement and I'm so elated for you. That was very motivating for me because I'm 66 years Young I started eating a raw diet been on it now since January of 2020. I appreciate you all's video so much, because I need to work on chewing my food better and drinking more smoothie after working out. Thanks for that encouraging information and please keep making videos. I'm really determined to work out more five to six days a week for an hour. Because I'm 5 feet 8 inches tall and I weigh about a hundred and 20 lb and I want to build muscles. So oh, now I understand why it was so hard for me to build muscle. Thank you Cara and thank you Markus have a fantastic life. Just wanted to say I appreciate you both for your videos. I'm determined to be strong and healthy. Been a vegan for 18 years but now raw is my thing.
Hi Care and Markus I worked with a very good trainer and manager of Bally’s Health Spa in Ohio at a young age... I became a trainer working with him... I loved it so much.. I have worked out my whole life.. but I ran into a serious health issue where my doctor is making me keep my blood pressure down this is a heredity condition I got from my dad has nothing to do with bad health... and I am challenged at this point... of how to keep the weight off it’s mostly diet right now... I am vegetarian/ vegan ....I am happy that you learned the importance of good form...people can actually hurt their selves working out wrong!..I love your cooking and fitness videos...❤️🏝
THANK YOU! CONGRATS CARA!!! And yes, I do try to stay healthy but it’s hard for me in the winter and I don’t live near a gym. I used to work out at home in my 30s every day. Fit as a fiddle! Now I’m having back trouble from a winter of no exercise and not staying on my healthy diet. I did hurt my back from pushing a client back from the edge of the bed back in December 2019. Got physical therapy and it was doing really well but then after my lazy winter at work, I picked up a tote full of summer clothes to bring from the storage to my house and hurt it a bit again. Grrrr! Here we goooo!
Wow this video just changed my life. I upped my veggies past few weeks but was having some stomach issues. Just started blending my salads and I feel great past few days w/ no issues 🙂
YES! Go Cara!!! You look and are fantastic, girlfriend. Speak as long as you like in your videos, (it's like a good-vibed friend is chatting while getting ready for work). Discoveries within ourselves on what works for us, big and small, are incredible when revealed to us. Glad you found another recently in your fitness routine. Happy July to you both, Markus and Cara, and to all THL family out there!💝
This is really interesting to me - I'm glad you're talking about it & what your learning and will be doing. I've been an athlete all my life - I'm 55 (female) now and I'm not quite where I want to be physically. Not so much for looks, though that is a great benefit, but for the long-haul. As I age, I need to keep muscle tone and all that. I don't want to be 80 and breaking a hip - I want to be 80 and still be strong - have muscle tone and all that goes with it. I'll look forward to you're journey - definitely tuning in!
I keep forgetting about chewing my food properly, even though I'm pretty healthy. Some fantastic information my peeps, swings and roundabouts like my diet, my weight goes up and down based on how much I juice or eat or exercise. I eat a lot of fruit though, sometimes I'm juicing instead of eating which is where I have been going wrong, it seems. I don't go to the gym ever, all my exercises comes from skateboarding and surfing, I'm 40 and living proof I can still keep up with the youth of today... Keep it up, I love your Channel
Love, love, love hearing Cara speak like this! I would like more videos of you like this! You are so awesome and inspiring! Can’t wait for the smoothie and workout videos!
Oh my goodness!!! You are such an inspiration!!! I have to get moving more!!! I’ll be watching your videos for sure and looking forward for the new ones too. God bless!
Wow this is amazing, I had exactly the same breakthrough this week!!! Chewing, being focused on your food, not overeating and IF will radically change your appearance!!!
You guys need to have a health retreat in that gorgeous setting. You could do meals and yoga courtesy of Cara and foraging and life advice with Markus. Lots of hikes out there. It’d be wonderful!
Great idea! I hope they see it and find it interesting and make the time - I will sign up😊
Mary, I’d be there!
I would totally go to that!
The Healthy Life - Summer Retreat 2021
I’d go!
I love this video, It's wonderful to see Cara so ecstatic! please Marcus don't tell Cara to get to the point, we love her personality and want to hear everything she says
Cara, you should see my arms. They're fat. I'm doing workout videos to help my body tone up. I'd kill for those abs.
Yes absolutely..its why we watch the videos, we love her personality essence
Whatever, Markus! I love hearing Cara talk! It's one thing to explain something logically, but, to express it by colorfully spewing real first hand experience with such enthusiasm is inspiring and influential ❤💃💋
Mark, Cara is amazing and her personality is so magical and innocent. Cherish this woman!! We all feel like we know her dearly. Love you guys so much, I’m in my mid 20s but you guys have way more energy than me. I inspire to be healthier and work out more and I feel like that’s when I felt my best!

I will be 67 years of age on the 23rd of July. I go to the gym for Zumba 3x a day. Yesterday, one of my co-workers thought I was 45 :) !!! Love you both. Markus I've been following you pre-Cara. Very glad that she is in your life and mine!
Myriam Azgour 67 to 45?.. wow
Biologically you probably are 45 ! 😉
What is aging but cells . If your cells are regenerating detoxing , ... ageless. The earth is many years old but it regenerates. Forever young.
What do u eat
You've got an outlier here- I live to workout! For mental as well as physical. It's one of the highlights of my day- almost everyday. Hot yoga, running, power-walking, rollerskating. Can't get enough of those natural endorphins.
VeganEllyn same here! The least prescribed medicine is exercise! 🦾
I’m already working out and eating mostly raw but don’t have the energy levels or muscles I’d like for 59. My goal is to go into my 60s in really great shape to avoid the problems of aging and to just feel good about my life. Cara’s enthusiasm is just what I needed to work harder and get to the next level. Can’t wait for the next video...bring it on Markus and Cara! 💪🏽❤️❤️
Love Cara’s energy and enthusiasm! Looking forward to the smoothie recipe and the exercises!
I really think this is the best video on the internet right now, I never felt more inspired!
Also I never comment but you guys made me do it!
Thank you very much! Love you guys
Yay! Thank you!
You two are miracles!!! I love seeing Cara so fired up... such a powerful message for women ... thank you, thank you, thank you!!! ✨💗✨
Yesterday I took cara's advice to just go and do something, I was not thrilled about just taking a walk and so ,I decided to play two sports outside with my family. We played soccer and tennis, soccer was more invigorating, and really got me moving.

Cara, I love how you speak with your entire body. You are an enthusiastic woman which is contagious!
The blender does not "pre-digest" your food. It breaks it down mechanically, not chemically...you still need to keep it in your mouth to get it mixed with saliva..THAT's crutial for good digestion and absorption.
Yes, I mentioned that in another video- to "eat" your smoothie. I was just generalizing for people here
Lol I have no bottom teeth after cancer! So I love smoothies lol
Ahhh Caras excitement is just the sweetest most genuine thing. So happy for her feeling so well. Thank u so much for the inspo, i really need to start moving more... 💪🏼🤸♀️

This is my favourite video.
I’ve saved this video for inspiration.
Although I am not totally raw and still have to cook for my meat and potatoes husband. I see him swaying my way as I continue on my journey. You both have taught me and continue to teach me so much. Thank you both
Thank you, Cara, for unleashing your joyous enthusiasm for all of us to benefit from. xo
Cara you’re soo Beautiful, don’t care what people say about you!!!!! Love ya both!!!!! ❤️ Thank you for everything you doing for us... 💋
Great video!! You two are definitely an inspiration!! Keep your enthusiasm Cara, this world needs it, especially now.
You are beautiful, Cara! I support your joy and excitement!! Not too many people are willing to show it or share with others! Proud of your hard work!! Thank you!!!!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Cara your excitement is infectious!!!
I love when cara goes off on a tangent! lol
Thank you so much from across The Pond (Scotland) for your great vids. I became hooked on you guys at least a year ago when I went from vegetarian to vegan. I'm a 45 yr old mum to 3 kids and aiming to increase my fitness, vitality etc.
You're both a great inspiration. Bigg hugs xx
Your video was just what I needed! I’ve achieved major diet goals but have been struggling laziness...Abundant Gratitude!!!
Got my Markus protein and made my first smoothie today. Yeah. Great flavor mixed with half a raw apple a frozen banana a few frozen blueberries and strawberries and a cup of macadamia milk. Weight bearing is absolutely the key. In the 10k steps a day club at 67.
No greens??
The markus mix is full of greens. 🙂
Had a green shake earlier in the day in addition to this but the protein mix has greens in it.
THANK YOU BOTH! I've went from daily excruciating GERD w/ esophageal spasms, chronic fatigue, depression, and muscle pain to feeling 95% better in only a week! Zero heartburn in sight FROM DAY 1 and I've actually had energy! I tossed the proton pump inhibitors, went to the store, & bought coconut water kefir (making it next time), apple cider vinegar w/ mothers, water (non-alkaline), another liquid probiotic with several strains, good veggies, nuts, and a few fruits with good digestive enzymes. I also started chewing everything REALLY well (I didn't realize how poorly I was doing this), eating better portion sizes, and exercising again. I've been following the advice in y'alls videos and it's made a substantial change in my life! I'm going to order your 3-in-1 Green Protein Vit. C formula, Parasite-Free detox, and some Ledidi Berries this week. Btw I appreciate the transparency & quality of ingredients you use. I'm still a work in progress, but I'll be shouting your praises in TN!! :)
Awesome!!!!! 👏👌
Cara's motivation in the end of the video is really contagious. I love it. Thank you!
I used to be depressed and I was so tired all the time, I wanted to sleep the whole day, because life leaves your body when you give up, so you have to bring life back by physical activity like walking, bicycle or exercise but preferably something more fulfilling like yoga, parkour or dancing and then intellectual stimulation like for example reading books, playing music or doing art and finally, and most importantly, you have to try different things and find passion, then you’ll feel like Cara in this video
I love this revelation Cara and Markus. I have been doing a yoga sculpt class with weights and it likewise has been life changing. I am 46 and do a morning smoothie. I have weight to lose. I crave feeling that burn. I love feeling stronger in my whole body and having more energy. I agree with the form. Thanks guys!
I hear and feel you Cara I really do. I think I’ll document my journey starting now. I ordered a bunch of products from you. I said when it comes I’ll start, no more excuses. I can start by like Markus says “stop what’s causing the problem in the first place” and make better choices NOW! Thank you guys for being you❤️
Thanks for the video, Cara! Your enthusiasm is so infectious! The only other times I have seen you have this much enthusiasm is when you are cooking. I'm glad that you have found exercising so enjoyable! And Markus's advice regarding smoothies is really good.
Such a fun one. Thanks for the outdoor backdrop...gorgeous. Cara is full on cheerleader to Markus the wise, nutty professor 🥰 Love the dynamic. keep on going kids. thanks for all the good health advice. This was a winner!🔥
Reminded me a little of the Sonny and Cher of healthy vegan living!
Love the way you said 'kids'! Markus is 60! But he's a big kid, after all!
Thank you....much needed encouragement. Love Cara's passion and excitement. You both are such a blessing to us.
Bodybuilding and Yoga. I train every day. It’s THE BEST!!
I stayed through the whole thing! I was so excited WITH Cara! I am trying to find that for myself. I will be 47 this year. I always thought I was too old to make any kind of difference in my body. Thanks for the inspiration Cara 🤗
You are never too old! The body is an amazing thing, keep at it consistently.
Weight lifting actually feels amazing once you establish good mind-muscle connection :) I hate cardio (I'm a salsa dancer so that's my cardio!), but I LOVE lifting weights. Since the pandemic started I have replaced my weight lifting regimen with resistance training at home using bands, and I now like that even more than I like the weight lifting! But good mind-muscle connection is essential -- otherwise it's just a struggle, plus injuries can happen.
I love you Cara! I have been working out forever and ran marathons, but I didn't realize chewing my food or drinking smoothies (which I do) was so much more beneficial for me!!!
I can’t WAAAAIT to work out with Cara!!! What a dream to work out with someone who inspires me!! 🦋🌼
3% here...made it through Cara's energy bomb of a video, chuckling all the way!! Lol.... I am the same age as Cara. I have been raw vegan on and off since 2003 but have recently got on the tight and narrow. We are taking/alternating Markus Liver and Kidney formula, plus I am taking Night Rebuild. My husband got us a Concept2 rowing machine at the end of September and I LOVE IT!!! It is a full body work out. I am rowing 7000-10,000 meters every other day, sometimes I give myself 2 day recovery on the heavier days, If it feel it too much still the second night. I already have rowed 188,000plus meters since getting it. Also love my Bellicon Rebounder for lymph movement. Keep it going Markus and Cara, we love you dearly!!
Good for you Cara! We are in the same age group. I have been weight training since 17. I am vegan and 57. My doctor said my muscle mass and bone density is of a 30 year old. That's good enough for me. I have always been committed to exercising to stay out of convalescent homes :)
I’m 50 and at my best🤗Great advice✅Love u guys!!❣️
Truly looking forward to watching your workout tips, Cara. I did 5 months with a trainer and gained zero muscles, despite a higher protein intake and amount of good food. You give me hope!
I am struggling with depression but Cara really made me smile.
Thank you so much for this video!!! I’ve been Powerlifting for a year now. I’m about to pull 300lbs in the deadlift. I have fallen in love with muscle development I’m working on my certification in personal training along with nutrition courses. I’m a vegan and follow so many of your recipes. You both are such amazing people. I hope one day I have the opportunity to meet both of you.
Keep it up
Wow! This is exactly what I needed, I noticed the same thing I sit more on the internet I become more depressed and lazy, I also get craving and start coming myself to other people, I completely move that out my way, and started to only watch you guys because you guys keep me going in the best direction! Thank you 😊
Oh my gosh, I absolutely LOVE your passion, joy, enthusiasm and adorableness! I appreciate what you shared in this video (which was a great refresher by the way!) and look forward to learning more!
I love how pumped and talkative you’ve been Cara. Always excited for your next video 😘
I just started week 3 with weight training and I am already starting to see my body take a more solid shape which is something I’ve never seen before. I am determined to gain muscle and get more confidence. Thanks for the tip about working out on an empty stomach for weight loss, and then drinking a smoothie right after to help the muscles heal. I am DETERMINED to be one of the few that sees results! Thank you, God-bless!
I love watching your evolution and fitness journey! 🥰 Thanks for your inspiration!
I saw the wind and prepared my ears for it and then of course Markus master edits, I didn't even hear the wind 😂
I love you guys. Thank you so much for the inspiration and excitement. Its so wonderful to see someone so excited about life.
I just saw this and watched all the way through. This is so
Exciting! I’m shocked actually to see Cara make this breakthrough I didn’t even know she needed!!! And I AM inspired! I turn 60 this year and am doing a lot of very healthy lifestyle choices over many years but yes the workout thing slacks off. I do some stuff but I like the challenge and enthusiasm of seeing Cara go through this. Bring it on. I can push myself. Agree. Fasting has helped me so much this year. Shout out to Kristopher Aaron who led a 42 Day fast. Blessings you guys. So happy for you. Bravo. Yes I’m so passionate to share with people to stop running to surgery and pills. It’s a HUGE transformative cultural thing to take responsibility. So 3hrs a week but us older girls need six days a week. I do some yoga and walk at least a brisk mile with my dog. Some speed intervals. But I’ll get the weights out and good posture. And wait for the workout videos coming up from Cara. Thanks Markus too for the protein powder and tips.
Thank you Cara, you have always looked beautiful, great job!! Markus, you are so intuitive about everything, what a blessing and support you are, always, to Cara, and your viewers/fans/friends.
Thank you so much!
Great video. As a physical therapist I see that people usually quit working out a bit from laziness but a lot comes from getting injured and doing it incorrectly. A lot of the exercise classes at the gym are super intense and a bit overboard in my opinion. Some trainers also go overboard And people get injured. I’m so happy for Cara and in New Jersey the gyms are still closed and I’m feeling that in my quads. Best to you both
I loved your energy in this video Cara!! Heck, I’d have watched an hour of you talking about this!! Your energy is contagious!!💕😊
You guys actually inspired me to re-join my gym. Covid restrictions ruined all my gains, but I'll get them back in a few months!
Watch you both for so many years, and you never failed, you always say the truth👏🏼
You could make an hour long video and I’d probably get more housework done lol Both of your positive attitudes are so very infectious!!! These videos are so inspiring. I have binge watched your channel, during the covid-19 stay at home order and have gotten lots of cleaning done., eaten healthier and been exercising. Thank you so much for your videos 😊
Inspiring and definitely NOT TOO MUCH Cara!! 💛💛 So happy to hear you hit your stride and click with weight training! Been working with weights since I was 11 and got much more serious at 15 and have continued through my life with brief breaks due to toxic marriages. I ALWAYS go back to it because it feels freakin’ amazing. My whole spirit changes. I’m 52 now so thanks for inspiring me to keep at it too!! 🙏🏼💛
Her joy gave me tears I know exactly what she’s saying!💕💜🙌 happy 😊 for you Cara! Love your videos!
i love to watch your videos on backgrounds like this. Beautiful colours and beautiful people.
Thank you so much 😀
Virtually hugging you both as I watch this. Truly you're two of my favorite people. So happy you do videos on a regular basis. Fun, inspiring, supportive, educational - you guys got it all! 💞 Say, do you have a place where fans can submit questions, and maybe you do a video addressing those questions? Would really love that! 🙂
Cara oh, I love your excitement and I'm so elated for you. That was very motivating for me because I'm 66 years Young I started eating a raw diet been on it now since January of 2020. I appreciate you all's video so much, because I need to work on chewing my food better and drinking more smoothie after working out. Thanks for that encouraging information and please keep making videos. I'm really determined to work out more five to six days a week for an hour. Because I'm 5 feet 8 inches tall and I weigh about a hundred and 20 lb and I want to build muscles. So oh, now I understand why it was so hard for me to build muscle. Thank you Cara and thank you Markus have a fantastic life. Just wanted to say I appreciate you both for your videos. I'm determined to be strong and healthy. Been a vegan for 18 years but now raw is my thing.
The excitement and comments make me smile 😁
I'm happy but what I have accomplished oh, because I had a form of cancer some years ago. And I love life
Hi Care and Markus
I worked with a very good trainer and manager of Bally’s Health Spa in Ohio at a young age... I became a trainer working with him... I loved it so much.. I have worked out my whole life.. but I ran into a serious health issue where my doctor is making me keep my blood pressure down this is a heredity condition I got from my dad has nothing to do with bad health... and I am challenged at this point... of how to keep the weight off it’s mostly diet right now... I am vegetarian/ vegan ....I am happy that you learned the importance of good form...people can actually hurt their selves working out wrong!..I love your cooking and fitness videos...❤️🏝
THANK YOU! CONGRATS CARA!!!
And yes, I do try to stay healthy but it’s hard for me in the winter and I don’t live near a gym. I used to work out at home in my 30s every day. Fit as a fiddle! Now I’m having back trouble from a winter of no exercise and not staying on my healthy diet. I did hurt my back from pushing a client back from the edge of the bed back in December 2019. Got physical therapy and it was doing really well but then after my lazy winter at work, I picked up a tote full of summer clothes to bring from the storage to my house and hurt it a bit again. Grrrr! Here we goooo!
Wow this video just changed my life. I upped my veggies past few weeks but was having some stomach issues. Just started blending my salads and I feel great past few days w/ no issues 🙂
YES! Go Cara!!! You look and are fantastic, girlfriend. Speak as long as you like in your videos, (it's like a good-vibed friend is chatting while getting ready for work). Discoveries within ourselves on what works for us, big and small, are incredible when revealed to us. Glad you found another recently in your fitness routine.
Happy July to you both, Markus and Cara, and to all THL family out there!💝
You guys are on my Dream Team of mentors!!! Love you!!!💗💗💗
Awesome, Cara! We love seeing (and hearing) you like this! All the best to you both.
This is really interesting to me - I'm glad you're talking about it & what your learning and will be doing. I've been an athlete all my life - I'm 55 (female) now and I'm not quite where I want to be physically. Not so much for looks, though that is a great benefit, but for the long-haul. As I age, I need to keep muscle tone and all that. I don't want to be 80 and breaking a hip - I want to be 80 and still be strong - have muscle tone and all that goes with it. I'll look forward to you're journey - definitely tuning in!
I keep forgetting about chewing my food properly, even though I'm pretty healthy. Some fantastic information my peeps, swings and roundabouts like my diet, my weight goes up and down based on how much I juice or eat or exercise. I eat a lot of fruit though, sometimes I'm juicing instead of eating which is where I have been going wrong, it seems. I don't go to the gym ever, all my exercises comes from skateboarding and surfing, I'm 40 and living proof I can still keep up with the youth of today... Keep it up, I love your Channel
Never juice fruit- that's just concentrated sugar. Blending fruit is ok and juicing greens is ok
Love, love, love hearing Cara speak like this! I would like more videos of you like this! You are so awesome and inspiring! Can’t wait for the smoothie and workout videos!
I love you guys! Thanks for totally inspiring me to go raw vegan 🌱😊
Oh my goodness!!! You are such an inspiration!!! I have to get moving more!!! I’ll be watching your videos for sure and looking forward for the new ones too. God bless!
Thank you Cara! Every word is much appreciated :) Love how you provide the amount of time it requires to avoid impending pain in the future too!
Thanks for sharing this- you energy and enthusiasm is truly through the roof!!!!🙌🙌🙌
Wow this is amazing, I had exactly the same breakthrough this week!!! Chewing, being focused on your food, not overeating and IF will radically change your appearance!!!
How inspiring Cara!! Getting my movement in today. Thank you
Thanks to you guys! You're very inspirational!
Cara you’re truly a DOLL 🥰 thank you for your motivation and positivity 💕💪🏼💕💪🏼 can’t wait for the smoothie video!!!
This is so motivating for me! Thanks so much!🥳🥳🥳😘😘😘❤❤❤
