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.

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.
