There are loads of fitness apps and Youtube videos, and so many studios now live streaming and providing really great at-home resources, so you’re spoiled for choice. Of course, for this to work you will need a strong and stable internet connection. There are plenty of suppliers out there, it is all about finding the one that matches your needs. For instance, if you are wanting an internet that is strong enough for both work and streaming videos then it might be worth shopping around. Take a look at NBN plans to see which one suits you best.
As I mentioned above, my advice is always to find something you enjoy. I’ve always loved dance and music and interesting, functional movement, so The Upbeat is my expression of that and I seriously love it! No motivation required, the music sorts that for you.
The other important thing to look for is some social interaction. With our classes, we can all see each other and say hi at the beginning and end of the class, which is the part I love the most as it feels like we’re all in the same room and keeps me feeling connected.

Libby Babet’s top tips for getting someone motivated?
First off – know that you’re not alone; everyone feels a little sluggish from time to time, me included, Libby says. But I typically start to go a bit stir crazy if I can’t at least move my body a little, and I bet you will too a few days in! What I do to get myself moving again is set a low bar… don’t aim to exercise for an hour; aim to exercise for 5 min. Chances are, once you start, you’ll keep going for more than 5 min, but even 5 min is a great start.
Next, try to do something every day, ideally at the same time each day. This will form a habit that is the key to any long-term change in your life. Do you need to be motivated to stay on track with brushing your teeth? I didn’t think so!
A little hack here is to make a game of it – put up a calendar and cross off every day that you do 5 min of exercise or more. Pretty soon, you don’t want to break the chain! Finally, find something you enjoy. Most people associate exercise with pain which we tend to shy away from, so find something you associate with pleasure. That’s why I started the upbeat.
Fit where we workout to the beat because it’s loads of fun, and the music, motivates you so even if you’re feeling sluggish, soon you’re excited to get going as the music lifts your vibes! To get on our live online streaming classes, you need to book in for a set time which gives you that little bit of extra motivation, too, not to mention much needed social interaction while we’re all locked away inside.
Libby Babet also emphasizes the importance of addressing women’s health concerns, including issues like menopause hip pain, which can significantly impact their well-being and daily routines.
What are the best exercises for bad posture?
- “Hip thrusters” and “side-lying leg lifts” and “clamshell exercises” to engage your glutes (butt), “deadlifts” to engage your hammies and upper back, and “prone rows” or any weighted/banded “pull” exercise to activate those upper back muscles too
- Stretches that release your hip flexors, neck and shoulders and wrists are important too.
What to do to avoid sore forearms and wrists from typing?
Firstly, get a padded mouse pad! Secondly, take more breaks! That old 25 minutes of work versus 5 minutes of movement is a good rule of thumb to operate by. Those sore forearms and wrists are overuse injuries, so make sure in those 5 minutes you move them in different ways, bending your wrists the opposite way they’d be positioned on your keypad and rotating them, etc.
Is working out without equipment still good for you? Or do I need weights?
Yes! There’s an old adage that we train with weights to get strong enough to lift our bodies (think push-ups, chin-ups, handstands, classical Pilates and Ballet etc.). I’m a huge fan of bodyweight training. The weights are just to add interest and variety, really.
Intervals vs one hour session?
Either is totally fine. People overcomplicate things when it comes to health. Three regular meals or six little ones? One long workout or three little ones? Honestly, quality movement is the goal, and however you like to get it done, go for it! If you do choose intervals, they need to be high intensity to be very effective, though, so if you have injuries, sometimes longer and slower can be a better move!
How to stay fit at home during self-isolation?
There are loads of fitness apps and Youtube videos, and so many studios now live streaming and providing really great at-home resources, so you’re spoiled for choice. As I mentioned above, my advice is always to find something you enjoy. I’ve always loved dance and music and interesting, functional movement, so The Upbeat is my expression of that and I seriously love it! No motivation required, the music sorts that for you.
