Cathe Lift, Move, & Restore 2 Elevated Upper Body Elevated Upper Body clocks in at just over 48 minutes. After a thorough resistance cord warm up, Cathe take you through a series of upper body core inspired exercises.  There were several exercises where you felt your core working as well as the upper body muscle group.  While the resistance cord was used in the warm up, the main part of the workout mainly used dumbbells and body weight. Sometimes, you were working with just a single dumbbell. The rep count range was between 8 and 24 reps. Cathe gave weight recommendations as she moved through each exercises and she gave her typical tips and encouragement. 3 & 3/4 stars
