Christine MacDonald
Christine lives in Buxton, Maine and she has been teaching fitness-inspired Hooping classes in the Portland/Southern Maine area since 2008. Her story was featured on WCSH Channel 6’s Fit At Five Segment and helped to spur the hoop movement in the Portland area. Hooping has changed her life and she loves helping others change theirs through the hoop. When Christine first started hooping, it was with a Wal Mart hoop her daughter got for her 3rd birthday 5 years ago. She was instantly hooked and became a “closet-hooper” practicing motions with her hoop while her two little girls played in the sandbox or watched their favorite tv show. When the hoop was being used more by her than her daughter, and never being put away, she knew she was hooked. By creating her own exercise routines with her hoop, it helped her lose 60 pounds. She is happier and more fit now at 39 than she was in her 20’s. As a Certified Group Fitness Instructor, Christine now uses the hoop to inspire and teach others a happy, fun way to exercise. She has taught people of all sizes to enjoy hooping and has seen students’ lives being transformed in their hooping experience as well. Christine’s goal is to get people happily hooping, reaching down to that child inside all of us and trying new things. Her motto is to simply let go and “be one with your hoop” as she shares her belief of hooping your way to health. She has brought hooping to Wellness events, and to such conservative venues as the workplace fitness arena. She has taught at Anthem, Unum, Hannaford, LLBean and teaches lunch-time hooping classes in downtown Portland as well as several evening classes throughout the area. www.missfithooping.com
