Obama's Warsaw workout footage poses questions about POTUS' security

A gawking gym-goer made a footage of the US President Barack Obama pumping iron on Wednesday at the Warsaw Marriott Hotel, which has raised questions about the POTUS' security.

The clip shows Obama, in a black tracksuit with headphones in his ears, doing weight lifting exercises, which included lunges, side raises, step-ups and shoulder presses, the New York Daily News reported.

The footage had first been leaked to Fakt, a Polish tabloid, from where it went viral.

However, the fears have been dispelled by Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan who said that hotel guests had not been asked to leave the gym during this off-the-record movement, nor were they asked to refrain from taking pictures, adding that the clip was "no different than if the President visited a restaurant off the record and other diners took pictures of him.
