Cheryl Burke has no plans of returning to Dancing With the Stars as of now, but she is dishing about her time on the show in a new podcast Sex, Lies, & Spray Tans where she interviews previous contestants and pro dancers to get the dirt on flings, heated arguments and all the drama that the audience didn't see. The 39-year-old believes the podcast will honor the show that she was a part of for 26 seasons, but isn't holding back on the secrets. "I do believe we owe it to the fans, first of all, just to celebrate the fact that the show has been on for so long," she told PEOPLE. "We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the fans." Although Burke isn't competing for the mirror ball trophy right now, she does still keep up with her workouts. Here's how the dancer stays in shape. Read on.

Getting enough quality sleep and staying hydrated doesn't just help with weight loss, but also has many health benefits. To help ensure she drinks enough water and rest, Burke uses Fitbit. She told Hollywood Life, [I’m] "loving my Fitbit because it makes me want to reach my specific goals and it pushes you to do so along the way, all the while tracking my sleep, water intake, and number of steps per day, etc. Each workout is almost 60 minutes long."
