“WHEW! What a week! We are wrapping up Summer and we have to go out with a BANG!”

“Why is there a need for Black Men Run?

“Why is there a need for Black Men Run? 

Because the numbers don’t lie:

* Among Blacks age 20 and older, 44.4% of men have Cardiovascular Diseases

* In 2009, Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) caused the deaths of 21,051 Black males

* Blacks have a risk of first-ever stroke that is almost twice that of whites

* Heart disease is the #1 cause of death for African American males At Black Men Run we believe that running/jogging can change these alarming trends and we are here to encourage African American males to get out and be active. Research tells us that running on a regular basis not only benefits individuals from a physical standpoint but also increase mental sharpness. Studies show that running on a regular basis helps to boost your confidence, relieves stress and eliminates depression.”

Sirius Fitness at the 2020 San Diego Half Marathon

I have not run a Half Marathon since Last April (La Jolla) and I haven't run more that 6 miles since last August...so I was a little worried about running 🤯(Achilles) and also bummed when my FAVORITE Half Marathon was cancelled! Thank goodness they were able to convert the race to a virtual and I'm so happy so many folks came out to support it! I can't wait until the 10 Year Anniversary (Legacy) in 2021!

Sirius Fitness hosts Healthy Active Fit at 2020 Kuumba Fest

This year Sirius Fitness presented the Healthy, Active, Fit portion of the 2020 Kuumba Fest. This was the 28th year of Kuumba Fest and several Black Owned Fitness business were recruited to provide their own individual brand of Health and Wellness to the Kuumba Fest participants. 

Pat Murray and the Errrverybodi Line Dancers kicked off the festivities with a line dancing performance that got folks moving. Next up was DeVaughn Walker representing his company, Power Through Fitness. He discussed using proper form when performing exercises then led the group with several bodyweight exercises. 

Mars Herring came thru with Fit, Black, and Educated (FBE) and led the group thru an awesome Boot Camp workout! Finally, Yoga instructor, Angela Ledyard relaxed the audience with her Yoga workout. 

Coach Nasara introduced each presenter with a "cool" and "hyped" hip hop musical intro (thank you DJ Kool T) followed by a quick demo of his Sirius Fitness workout program. 

These presenters brought EXPERTISE, ENERGY & EMOTION to this event and you could see it in the smiles, excitement...and sweat (smile) of the participants.

Coach Nasara said, "It was an honor participating in this event helping to enlighten and bring awareness to the importance of Exercise to our community! Thank you Dajahn Blevins for creating Kuumba Fest and giving us the opportunity to display our talents!"

Sirius Fitness presents... The Invisible Vegan

**On the 4 Year Anniversary of "Sirius Fitness Day" in San Diego we presented the The Invisible Vegan...

On Sunday December 15th, Sirius Fitness, in conjunction with Live Well San Diego presented the documentary, The Invisible Vegan at Jackie Robinson Family YMCA. The Documentary was followed by a Panel of Nutritional Experts and an incredible Vegan meal.

What is the "Invisible Vegan"?  

"The Invisible Vegan is a 90-minute independent documentary that explores the problem of unhealthy dietary patterns in the African-American community, foregrounding the health and wellness possibilities enabled by plant-based vegan diets and lifestyle choices." 

This documentary was Co-Produced by Jasmine and Kenny Leyva and featured prominent celebrities such as Stic Man from Dead Prez, Comedian Cedric the Entertainer and NBA Champion John Salley. The documentary dealt with misconceptions, health benefits, history and more about Plant-Based diets in the African-American community. 

The Panel consisted of David Engel of Plant Diego, Vegan Martial Artist, Charles Scot and was facilitated by Dr. Samira Jones (aka Dr. Sunshine Jones). They answered questions about their own personal journeys with a Plant-based diet, the effects, the challenges and overall general information. Dr. Jones was very informative with her background in Nutrition. The audience provided great questions for the panel that added much more to the discussion. 

The event concluded with an awesome Vegan meal consisting of Salad, Pasta w/ Vegan Sausage, Quinoa Salad and delicious Vegan Chocolate Chip cookies. Thank you Morse High School Culinary Department for providing the meal and thank you to our Sponsors for this event, Stepping Higher, Inc., Fit, Black and Educated and Plant Diego.

The 90-minute documentary is available to watch online through Amazon Prime and Vimeo.
