vim and vigor
Robust lively enthusiasm
Vim and vigor is a redoubling phrase emphasizing robust energy and enthusiasm.
Both words mean roughly the same thing—vitality, spirited force—so combining them intensifies the effect: She tackled the project with vim and vigor.
The alliteration makes it memorable, though the pairing can sound old-fashioned or deliberately folksy.
