EXERTION PROGRAM SUMMARY

GTD's Exertion Program is being established to educate, encourage, and enable physical fitness in our community through fitness events and fitness programs in a Christian atmosphere. The vision for GTD's Exertion Program is to provide fitness challenges, races, and events such as cross state bike rides, adventure races, and triathlons. In addition, GTD is planning to provide a fitness program to address the three key fitness issues of strength training, cardiovascular health, and nutritional enhancement. GTD's fitness program is going to be called S.T.R.O.N.G. (Strength Training, Respiratory Oriented & Nutritional Growth). What makes GTD's approach to fitness so different is our emphasis on spiritual wellness through a thriving relationship with Jesus as well as our fun loving positive outlook.

FUTURE EXERTION PLANS
