"Even before she was sashaying her way across the stage with partner Derek Hough on this season&amp;apos;s Dancing with the Stars, Maria Menounos was fit as a fiddle and ready to wear those barely-there dance costumes in front of millions.\r\nTo keep her motivated through her personal training workouts with her pro Andrea Orbeck, the 33-year-old star tells Us Weekly, &amp;quot;I listen to high-energy music, like Pitbull. It gets me fired up.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nBelow, Orbeck takes Us through the moves below to shape up your bod, whether you&amp;apos;re beach bound or hitting up a popular televised dance competition!\r\n\r\nWeek 1: Load Up on CardioOrbeck recommends three sessions a week to condition the body for more intense exercises later. Do 20 minutes of intervals -- two-minute sprints, with a one-minute recovery -- to burn the most fat!\r\nWeek 2: Start PlyometricsTry these powerful jumping exercises five times a week to &amp;quot;tone, increase heart rate and burn calories,&amp;quot; she says, &amp;quot;Do five moves, one-minute each.&amp;quot; Faves? Jumps from a squat position and reverse lunges.\r\n\r\nWeek 3: Combine WorkoutsAmp it up with five circuit-training sessions a week! Orbeck has Menounos do five one-minute treadmill incline runs (&amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s killer!&amp;quot;), then reverse squats into jumps, lunges and biceps curls before repeating the sequence -- twice.\r\n\r\nWeek 4: Sweat Out Water WeightOrbeck alternates two long card sessions (&amp;quot;To sweat out that last bit!&amp;quot;) with three sprint workouts made up of eight 20-second incline runs. Then, she says, &amp;quot;we do more free-weight work to really tone.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
