Lizzy: Lindsey bought 2 exercise bands to intensify her workout. Each band adds an extra 5 pounds of resistance to her workout. If she doubles up both sets of bands and places them around her legs and picks up a 10-pound dumbbell, how much weight will she squat?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
She has 2 exercise bands that are both 5 pounds of resistance so that’s 2 * 5 = 10 pounds. She has a pair of 10 - pound dumbbells so that’s 2 * 10 = 20 pounds. With both the bands and dumbbells, she will squat 10 + 20 = 30 pounds. Final answer: 30.
