Remember to check in each week to find new activities and assignments below.
Below you will find a weekly fitness log, which will allow you to keep track of your daily physical activity, as well as specific goals for the week. Feel feel to snap a photo and email me at jzuback@cisdv.bc.ca at the end of the week. Print new sheets for the beginning of each week.
UPDATE: I have now made the PDF form fillable, so no more need to print! Simply download, fill it out (including clicking on checkboxes), save, and email!
1) Vertical Jump:
- Find a tall, vertical, surface (like a fence, wall, or post).
- Reach up as high as you can with your feet flat on the ground. Place a piece of tape at that point.
- Using chalk on your fingers, or another piece of tape, jump up as high as possible and place your mark above the first.
- The distance between these two marks is your "vertical leap" score.
- For example, if you are able to reach up to 2.2m and jump to place your mark at 2.5m, your score is 0.5m.
2) Summer Active Plan: Create an "active" plan for your summer holidays. How will you try to keep yourself active? Will you try a new sport? Will you make a goal for exercising through your holidays? Will you try to go for a bicycle or paddle board ride each week? Let me know what you plan to do and how you hope to schedule it!
1) Cosmic Kids Yoga: Pick one cosmic yoga lesson to follow along with this week.
2) Standing Broad Jump: Use a starting line and a tape measure. Planting both feet, swing your arms and jump as far as you can. Measure from the back of your heel (or your hand, if you fall backwards upon landing).
3) Multi-Stage Fitness Test: For the Multi-Stage Fitness Test, create two lines, 15m apart. When each level is announced, begin running to the opposite line before the “beep” sounds. Two consecutive failed levels signal the end. Record your last, successful, level.
Use the attached video for the properly timed audio, and see this explanation video for a further tutorial.
*For Kindergarten to grade 3, modify distance from 20m to 15m.
1) Daily Stretches: Follow along with the daily stretches video that Mr. Z has posted.
2) Fitness Roulette: Grab a deck of cards and a partner to partake in Mr. Z's "Fitness Roulette"!

3) Soccer Skills: Practice your footwork, passing, and shooting, at home. If you don't have a partner to work with, choose a target to pass to. Check out the included footwork video if you'd like an extra challenge! If you don't have a soccer ball, pick any type of ball to work on your hand-eye coordination skills!
4) Timberwolf Track: Did you compete in the ICS Track Stars Program? Don't forget to submit your results to Mr. Z!
This week is all about mindfulness and mental health!
1) Mindfulness Checklist: Perform the 5 activities included in the attached mindfulness checklist. Also on the side, is a copy of the Neighbourhood Scavenger Hunt.
2) 5 things I love about me: Create a list of five things that you absolutely LOVE about yourself. These don't have to be big things, just 5 things that you're happy about. Optional, illustrate a picture of yourself with those qualities!
This week we have a number of activities to take part in.
1) Creating a game: This week, Mr. Z would like you to take time to get creative, coming up with your own fun game. This could be as simple or as detailed as you like, but should include rules and a point system. Need some inspiration? Try combining some sports you already know! Back in 1965, in Brazil, Octavio de Moraes created the sport of Footvolley (see video on the side!)
2) Check out the new "Track + Field" page added to the website. You might be interested in joining the team! Even if not, you might want to try out the warm-ups or events.
3) Check out the "Cosmic Kids" video library and pick one lesson to follow along with this week.
4) Feeling the heat? Join Mr. Z out on the water, from home, in his latest just for fun video.
5) Don't forget to submit your weekly log!
Haven't got enough dancing in? Check out some of the dances by the Kidz Bop Kids, added to the Helpful Links page!

This week I have created a Fitness Bingo Challenge! Click on the link to download a fillable PDF that you can simply click on to cross off activities each time you complete them through the week. What's your goal? A horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line? Maybe two? Perhaps try for a large X or even the exterior boxes?
This week's challenge is a timed activity. Below you will find both an fillable PDF form AND an instructional video! Complete each action for one full minute, recording how many reps you get through. Having trouble with form or technique? Browse the vid on the left.
Find below a fun game to play with your family this week. Attached are the directions to play, but feel free to put your own spin on the actions required!
