I ditched the gym for this 25-minute dumbbell workout —here's what happened to my body

I had to make a choice; work sections of my body on different days, or switch to full-body workouts. I say make a choice, it was made for me. My schedule has been so packed, I couldn't dedicate an entire session to just my upper or lower body.

So I had to think more efficiently. Not wanting to skip my workouts entirely, I decided to scroll Instagram and find a routine that would train my whole body in under 30 minutes.
