Julie. If you think you client may not have the endurance to make it through a longer workout to begin with, consider working in some yoga or meditation techniques to make her generally feel better. Spend some time doing some deep breathing and light stretching before moving into something a little more strenuous in the form of your planned workout. Then, bring it back down to breathing, stretching, relaxing, etc. You know how yoga gives you that nice happy feeling? I think that goes a long way when someone is just starting out their fitness journey. Make it positive experience that isn't too discouraging right off.
