North Koreans shown enjoying new sports facilities

Pyongyang citizens are shown enjoying sports and beauty treatments in Kyodo News footage

Japanese news agency Kyodo News uploaded a video on the Tongil Street Sporting Center in Pyongyang, which opened in 2012, featuring civilians using indoor facilities.

In the video clip the people run on treadmills, work out and use hula hoops. Some do "rhythm exercises" with music, which appear similar to aerobic moves. An indoor swimming pool, called an "underwater ultrasonic room," is also shown.
