Here is the correct matching of the words with their descriptions:

1. number of pounds the weight lifting bar weighs - 45
2. single dumbbells that are held independently in each hand - free weights
3. weight machine - 35

Note: Not all words are used, and in this context, "4535" as a combination with no clear separation isn't needed for matching other entries directly.

There is no difference.

Answer 11

The main difference between free weights and a universal machine is that universal machines are safer because the weights are not above the body. Universal machines often guide the movement and provide stability, which can reduce the risk of injury, especially for beginners. In contrast, free weights require more balance and control, which can be more challenging and potentially less safe if not used properly.
