Email me for ZOOM Log in information. 

* DRIVE IN FITNESS - What is it? 
Okay people if you are not ready to go inside to fitness classes or you just like being outside - then load up your trunk with the work out stuff you have at home. Some lighter dumb bells ( I use my 1 lb, 5 lb and 8 lbs the most). Or you can grab soup cans! Some 4 oz and then some bigger ones. The deal is that you need to be able to hang on to them. You can even bring a jug of water or recycle a few and put the amount of water in them that works for you. Bring a yoga mat, if you like to do planks on the ground - we generally do them on the side of the car as a wall plank. Bring exercise bands if you have them. Really anything you use at home (or if you are like me - Think you will use at home!)

The isolation and not being with people has been really hard. My goal in doing this class is so we are outside, physically distant, but joyfully socially together. I am so very grateful that I can do this type of class in Florida and right is the weather is beautiful. I will be wearing a face covering - if you are good with your space - the face covering for you is up to you. 


My YouTube channel is Restorative Hooping with Crazy Amy. You can find all of these videos and more listed on that channel. The playlist for these videos is titled: Home Time - Hoop Time. 
Dear Friend,
     Thank you for being here! I added videos here during the pandemic below - but work with the family business took over. Additionally I had some technical failures. I broke my OSMO mobile - sadly. I am currently working with the family recruiting business TeamBradley and finding successes.
     Please feel free to hoop with me using any of the videos below. My goal in taping them was to give you someone to hoop with! Each day I plan and successfully get into my hoop, I am just happy I created the time! And if I hoop with people, like you, I am also very happy. My hope had been to add more videos daily, and while that has not happened, I am giving myself a pass, because right now I realize that was a great goal, but not practical. As I look at the list below - I feel good about the successful work I have done to keep YOU hooping and me. Additionally my channel offers more hooping and hooping tips. Enjoy - be happy, be hooping, be awesome & be safe, be distancing, be well!
     And while this holiday season is NOT what any of us wanted - I wish you joy, safety and wellness.
                            
Best Amy 11/24/20

PREVIOUSLY - AMY's hoop circle offerings and travels. 

Below is a partial list of previous programming. As of Fall 2019 I consolidated some of the information being posted so that all events and schedule were listed here and not mixed in with other pages on the website. Because of that, some previous events found on the first page of the website have been eliminated and cannot be viewed. Moving forward, previous events will be moved to this area seasonally. 

Summer hoop Tour 2019 - a journey of love! 

UPDATED - SUMMER HOOP TOUR 2019

The Summer Hoop Tour has come to an end. It has been wonderful to see and meet so many people.

And folks - it is going to be just a bunch of fun going from one place to another - once again sharing the hula hoop!
