On Russian President Vladimir Putin’s 64th birthday, here’s a video from The Quint’s archives.

The President and Prime Minister of Russia were shown working out together in a gym in Sochi on Sunday.

The pictures, broadcast on Russian state television, show President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev exercising at the presidential residence in Bocharov Ruchey before enjoying a steak on a garden terrace.

Both men also attended a martial arts competition called “Russia vs the World”, during which Putin extolled the virtues of martial arts combat.
