I'm wondering how you get Amy to flap
I do this about fifteen times in a row then give him a few minutes to recoup. I try to listen to his heart rate but as I previously mentioned my hearing isn't the greatest 
I just might look for a stethoscope just for this lol.
By just looking at him,I see no signs of being over-exerted..no panting or open beak and I can't really see his chest moving with any rapid in and outs.

At times he asks to flap ( I think) He'll get on top of his house on his play top and at times spread and wave his arms..to me I think it's his way of saying "c'mon dad lets flap!'I have him step up on his perch stick and let him know whats going to happen. I tell him we're going to do some flapping and tell him I'm going to count to three then briskly drop the perch stick quickly ( of course I hold onto it!). honestly I believe he understands this! He prepares himself,gets properly situated on the perch and looks at me while I count lol.
Out go the arms and the flapping begins
