ET is with "Dancing with the Stars" two-time champ Cheryl Burke and her star partner Rick Fox, getting the lowdown on their Quickstep and finding out how Rick smells so good during dancing rehearsals!

Call it what you want, but it's a pre-rehearsal ritual that works wonders for Cheryl and Rick -- spraying on lots of cologne! Rick tells ET that Cheryl loves to spray him numerous times with various men's fragrances because she doesn't mind the sweat, but insists that her partners smell good.

Besides smelling great, the former NBA star says he's losing weight. "I'm losing some muscle but I'm gaining flexibility and I think my body's becoming more of a dancer's body, even if I don't really, fully, quite know how to dance yet." Rick says that nowadays he is more inclined to hit the drive-thru restaurants in search of some good comfort food.

Watch the video for more from Rick and Cheryl as they buckle up for another nail-biting week of dancing showdowns. "Dancing with the Stars" airs Mondays and Tuesdays on ABC.
