I felt "this is not good enough" thinking about my body.
Kondo-san, I understand that you have always been a dancer.
Kondo:I started in high school and did it until I was about 23 or 4 years old . For a while I wanted to be a professional dancer, and there was a time when I had lessons at a school.
Did you like to be physically active?
Kondo:. Exercise has been close to me since I was in elementary school. I was a swimmer at the time and qualified for the Junior Olympics, and I also played baseball in junior high school. I was a pitcher, but I was forced to run a lot. I used my thigh muscles when I threw, so I had to strengthen them.
So you were used to running.
Kondo:. maybe. I have to admit that I didn't like running in the baseball team very much (laughs).
. But I heard that you started running again when you entered the workforce.
Kondo:Yes, that's right. After I started my own business as a stylist, I had more time and started running a little more. At the same time, I started swimming. . I also entered an aquathlon competition.
What made you decide to get back into running and swimming?
Kondo:Since I became independent, my body has gradually become heavier and heavier... (laughter). I like to drink, and my body was getting bigger and bigger. I thought, "This is not good for me" (laughs). . So I started exercising for my health as well as to lose weight.
