At once point, I was like "Surely there are other arms moves we can do". I found the Pump It Up section of the workout to be a bit up and down in terms of energy and intensity. In between the different cardio sets or even a cardio move, Fiona stretch a lot. This is where I felt the energy and intensity go down. I did like most of the mini routines in this section.
