Gravure idol Yoko Kumada says toned physique due to pole dancing

Gravure idol and talent Yoko Kumada has updated her Instagram account to reveal that a pole dancing regimen has caused her body fat percentage to drop below 10 percent.

“It’s been 20 years since I got into the daily routine of stepping on my home scale every morning,” she wrote on Sunday. “My body fat percentage has dropped so much lately that I thought [my scale] might be broken, so I went to [body composition technology company] InBody to get an accurate reading.”

In a posted image, she reveals the she stands 164.7 centimeters tall, weighs 50.0 kilograms and has a body fat percentage of 9.5 percent.

“My body fat percentage [at InBody] is a little higher than my body fat percentage [measured] at home, and I’ve increased about 1.5 centimeters in height [over what was measured at home].”

She concludes: “It’s all thanks to pole dancing. It’s interesting to see the muscle mass [develop] on both sides [of my body].”
