Mission Impossibl(y simple)

I was chatting with a client yesterday about fitting in exercise.
She's in Boston and overwhelmed by all the storms and the kids not being in school since... basically December.
We've been swapping some of the workouts for shoveling (bc let's be honest, that's a heck of a workout), but she still wants to do more core.
"I just don't know where I'd find the time"
And fair, with two kids at home and historical snowfall... I'm not about to wag my finger at her and talk about priorities or say there's 24 hours in a day.
But... I do like to offer solutions (if it's something she wants)
Like, forget about a 45 min workout (or even 30 min, or 15 min)... even the 8 min ab burns.
And do a 1 min Plank.
I asked on a scale of 1-10, how achievable did a 1 min Plank feel?
"I mean, probably a 9... that feels so silly".
And it is, that's the whole point.
Big goals are glorious, I'm so into the inspiration and dedication.
But sometimes we need something silly and small, something impossible to fail, to help turn better habits into autopilot decisions.

And now an exercise form tip.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know!
Want to improve your Rows?
The Cable or Bent Over Row, not like rowing on the water or erg... but probably wouldn't hurt those.
The goal is to squeeze your shoulder blades, but often people can also squeeze their upper traps aka neck.
Think about pulling your elbows to your hips as you squeeze your shoulder blades.
This should keep the motion lower so that you're less likely to use the upper traps and be in a pain in the neck. ​
