Streaming Youtube workouts - how to skip ads?

I'm using a ROKU in our SmartTV to stream Youtube workouts. Problem is, I can't figure out how to skip ads when that option pops up in the lower right corner.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Yeah, I had the same question. As Barb said, clicking OK activates the Skip Ad button.

I just want to say thanks for reminding me that I can watch YouTube through my Roku (at least I think I can). There are times I want to watch something on YT, but if it's more than 5 or 10 minutes, I don't bother because I don't want to sit at my desk (unless it's a silly cat video, or something like that). If I can sit in my big comfy chair, I now have many more options of things to watch

No kidding. I then noticed how much free content was available, individual shows as well as channels. I found a Pilates channel that might come in handy. Now I have to get a smart tv for my workout area so I can use it.
