Task
4. Get fit: for the option you have not picked yet
Required Often forgotten

Notes and warnings
Warning. THIS CANNOT BE DONE UNTIL YOU HAVE CHOSEN AN OPTION. The requirement says it itself: exercises "to get fit for the option you choose in requirement 7". Getting fit for a 4-mile cross-country tour is not getting fit for a snowboard. Requirement 7 is three numbers further down the page, and this is the first of two requirements that reach forward to it.
Where this step comes from
