Video: Barack Obama lifts weights in private gym as security breach investigated

America’s secret service is investigating how video of Barack Obama grimacing while pumping iron in a

private gym was leaked on to the internet.

Security sources believe the pictures of the President were taken as he worked in his 5-star Marriott hotel taking time out from his busy schedule while in Poland.

Mr Obama was in Warsaw on his current tour of Europe and arrived on Tuesday.

In the footage the President is seen wearing a black track suit and a dark T-shirt while doing a series of lunges while holding weights.

He appeared to be listening to music as he worked out. The pictures later emerged in a Polish tabloid.

Secret services normally sweep any private area the President maybe for unauthorised cameras.
