Leaked footage of US President Barack Obama working out in a Polish hotel gym has, of course, set the internet ablaze, as the world delights in the rare and candid glimpse of the Commander In Chief’s Weightlifting Warsaw Workout.
As can be seen in the short but informative, one-minute 25-second clip, President Obama opted for a low impact, high repetition workout. Rocking, according to Twitter experts, the 5 lb weights in various cardio exercises. Lunges are involved as are steps and more than a few yawns.
The Warsaw Workout has all a leader of the free world needs to unwind and de-stress after a long day of negotiations in Eastern Europe. Some pundits have voiced outrage at the apparent security breech, expressing their deep concern about giving the enemy any insight into the US’ strict training regiments. But the Secret Service have assured reporters that the President was under no threat. And anyway, clearly, he can defend himself.
According to the Secret Service, Obama routinely works out at hotel gyms during his travels and other hotel guests are permitted to remain in the gym and take pictures. It is unclear whether this policy will remain intact.
