"How to get a bubble butt"

         I have never really been the type of person who can sit around and watch YouTube videos all day, unless they are the hysterical remix videos of Sweet Brown, which I do have time for! Over the span of perhaps a year and a half I have found myself slowly subscribing to more and more YouTube Channels. I discovered Jenna Marbles my senior year. Then last summer I found “This Is A Commentary” put on by Tre Melvin, whom you may have heard of it if you have ever seen “Shit Black Girls Say”, (right).  Then about two months ago I stumbled across a whole new world of YouTube that I would have never guessed existed.

I was on Google searching, “how to get a bubble butt” and the first page that I clicked on was a YouTube video, I didn’t find it helpful but for some reason, I clicked on the link that led me to the main page of the personal trainer, Davey Wavey. He had all these different workout videos, I felt like Aladdin with the magic lamp and genie, except YouTube was my lamp and Davey Wavey was my genie. I didn’t want to tell anyone about it, partly because I wanted to keep it all to myself and partly because I didn’t want to admit that I use workout videos. But I found them super resourceful when I didn’t have time to go to the gym or wanted something quick before work.     

There was one video I found, “Insane 8 Minute Butt Workout!” (left) and it featured another trainer, who in-fact was named one of YouTube’s Next Trainers. She was this upbeat very motivational Asian girl who had her own YouTube channel as well, called Blogilates. I never really gave it much thought, but two weeks ago in World Religions we were reading about Hinduism, and it went over Pilates briefly. I though back to how I had subscribed to Blogilates and thought I’d give it a try and can I just say, I’m so sore, but I love it. I’ve been doing the Blogilates for about a week now, and it’s insane how much control you need in your entire body yet Cassey, the trainer, makes it look so simple, she will seriously do it while holding a full conversation with the camera, talking about music and food, then motivating you (the viewer) telling you how great you’re doing. When I was doing it the other day, I just thought, “I think you must really be an incredible person to spend your life, teaching people how to be healthy and showing them workouts, all for free. That’s super inspirational to me. There should be more people in the world like that.”

To be honest, I never thought I’d rely on YouTube for a good workout, I always just stuck to the gym or hiked. But I don’t regret stumbling across it, each video is something new and I  must be hooked  to say that I’m ready for a new video to come out already!Here are all the YouTube channels I mentioned...
