She was introduced onto the channel's flagship show Good Morning Britain in response to the popularity of exercise teacher Diana Moran ("the Green Goddess") on the rival BBC One show Breakfast Time. She created many videos, such as Pop Dance with Lizzie, Shake-out with Lizzie and many more. She has produced 9 videos (8 exercise, 1 dance) and 8 books. Her first video was The Body Programme with Lizzie Webb and her last was Pop Dance with Lizzie!!!
However Webb's most successful venture was Joggy Bear, a children's television show from the late 1980s to early 1990s.
Lizzie Webb's first fitness video released on VHS by MSD Video, topped the UK video charts in 1987.
Lizzie was married to Andrew Webb, but after a 9 year marriage they divorced.
Webb has since appeared on ITV's That Antony Cotton Show.
