 * Procedure:**
 * 1) Get into groups.
 * 2) Have one person stand up straight with his / her back against a wall.

 * 4) In a "curling" motion, have the student raise and lower the weights until his / her arms get tired.
 * 5) Repeat steps 2-4 for each member of the group.

 * 7) Have the first person stand as straight as possible near a wall.
