You don't need to be a fan of ABC's Dancing with the Stars to be envious of Anna Trebunskaya's perfectly toned body. The 29-year-old Russian beauty started dancing since she was six years old and never stopped. Now in her fifth season of DWTS, Anna's body looks better than ever. Here, in an exclusive interview with Shape.com, she reveals her secrets for staying motivated and in amazing shape—on and off the dance floor.

SHAPE: How do you stay in shape when you're not dancing?

Anna Trebunskaya: Some days I do cardio, but I love resistance training. I have a Total Gym in my house—which is pretty cool because it uses your body weight for resistance (no weights required), and you can adjust it to be as hard or as easy as you want. I use it for 1-1.5 hours five days a week when I'm not dancing, and then sometimes I like to switch it up and take a ballet class or go to yoga.

SHAPE: How many hours a day do you work out?

Anna: When DWTS ends, I work out about 1.5 hours five days a week. But dancing is almost always part of my routine, whether I'm teaching students or training for my own performance with my professional dancer partner.

SHAPE: What exercises do you love (or hate)?

Anna: I think planks and pushups are the best exercises because they work every muscle in your body. And I hate squats. I absolutely never do them.

SHAPE: What's your typical diet like?

Anna: When I'm not on DWTS, I avoid carbohydrates. But during the season, I need carbs just to get me going in the morning. I'll have something like cereal, oatmeal, yogurt with berries, or a banana and toast. Sometimes I even have pancakes. I normally snack on carrots, but during a tough rehearsal, I may indulge in a cookie.

SHAPE: And for dinner?

Anna: I try to have salmon, vegetables and rice.
