Ukrainian dancer Nadiya Bychkova is enjoying a beautiful vacation

Ukrainian professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova is enjoying a beautiful vacation in warm, sunny climes. Bychkova, 33, shared a snap of herself walking in the surf wearing a black bathing suit and white cover up, against a backdrop of beautiful blue skies. "Morning," she captioned the post.

Bychkova drinks coffee to provide an extra boost of energy for her dance sessions. "Coffee aficionados enjoy a caffeine energy boost that improves clarity and focus, and savor its fragrance and rich, deep flavor," says Nancy Oliveira, MS, RD, LDN, CDCES. Studies also show coffee may help support heart and brain health.

Bychkova says her Strictly Come Dancing training is incredibly intense. "It's full-on," she says. "During one section I dance continually for 12 minutes – Charleston, quickstep, jive. "I'm the only lead woman on the show. The boys come and go but I just keep going. At the end I'm sweating."

Bychkova never counts calories or restricts her diet, instead focusing on dancing and training to keep her in shape. "You have to be an athlete," she says. "I love to eat and I can enjoy it as much as I want – I never count calories because I'm so physically active."

Bychkova enjoys down time with her fellow Strictly Come Dancing costar and boyfriend Kai Widdrington. "When we're not dancing, our favorite thing to do is eat," she says. "We love having a really nice dinner or just chilling together, watching TV and eating cheese!"

Bychkova has worked hard to get to where she is, and says her career has given her immense self-confidence. This has helped her ignore negative attention and online trolling. "I've made huge sacrifices but I wouldn't change a thing," she says. "It's all been worth it. It formed my character. It made me what I am today."

Strictly star Nadiya Bychkova showcases her jaw-dropping abs

The professional dancer, 31, looked sizzling in a skimpy blue bikini as she soaked up the rays in Croatia before showing off her frame in a series of sexy swimwear looks.

Posing on rocks beside the water in Hvar Island, Nadiya left little to the imagination as she showed off her washboard abs and toned legs.

The blonde beauty shielded her face from the sun with a black cap and accessorised with bracelets but little else.

Aside from dancing, the Ukrainian has also done some professional modelling, starring on the front cover of Slovenia's Playboy magazine in April 2015.
