Joanna Krupa got smug about how she’s ‘ambitious’ & never ‘lazy’ about exercise

4th Annual CineFashion Film Awards

I work out a lot, but not every day. I average four gym visits a week, and I look forward to those visits because it’s a good stress reliever for me, my version of meditation, clearing-my-head, cancel-out-the-noise. In the first months of Trump’s presidency, I worked out A LOT. So much that I actually strained myself a bit. I’ve been considering taking a break, actually, to just let my body heal from minor aches and pains that I associate with my workouts. What’s my point? My point is that people work out or don’t work out for many different reasons. It’s not always about health, it’s not always about losing weight, and it’s not always a matter or laziness or whatever. Real Housewife Joanna Krupa does not feel the same way. Krupa got judgy on her Instagram about how people are “lazy” if they don’t work out every week at every age. No.

Joanna Krupa is proud of her bikini body and doesn’t seem to understand why others can’t join the fitness bandwagon also. The 38-year-old Polish model and former Playboy pinup is on the cover of Be Active, which she proudly unveiled on Instagram Monday, along with a special message.

“There is absolutely no excuse in not staying fit and healthy at any age!” wrote the “Real Housewives of Miami” star. “Motivation and drive is the key.”

Krupa went on to reveal she maintains a strict diet daily and works out between 2-5 times a week, no matter what her schedule looks like.

“I don’t get lazy even when tired after work or on a vacation,” she explained. “I find time to be active. It’s called being ambitious and dedicated. It’s a choice. For those that don’t follow that please don’t judge those that choose to be fit.”

Krupa also fired back at critics who’ve reportedly claimed she starves herself over the years to stay in camera-ready shape at all times.

“I have always eaten anything I wanted,” boasted Krupa.

FFS, stop it. “It’s called being ambitious and dedicated. It’s a choice.” Being a judgy a–hole is also a choice, and she makes that choice every f–king day, it seems. “For those that don’t follow that please don’t judge those that choose to be fit.” What the hell is she even talking about? I’m left cold by the arguments from slender, fit women that they have it hard because people “judge” them for being so thin and beautiful. That irks the sh-t out of me. Our society puts a premium at every level for women maintaining a very specific standard of beauty and I’ll never believe that a woman who looks like Joanna Krupa is “judged” by society the same way a woman who looks like Melissa McCarthy is “judged.”

Even the idea that being “fit” only looks one way is a destructive and stupid idea. People look at someone slightly overweight (but who works out every day), and says “oh, how UNHEALTHY.” But someone thin, who never works out and eats garbage all day and smokes, will “look healthy.” This whole conversation is so stupid. Work out if you can, and do it for your own reasons. Don’t let stupid Real Housewives try to tell you that you’re lazy.

    She might look healthy. But she sure looks older than she is…

  2. JenB says:

    She really is going out of her way to be judgmental. I also doubt “she eats whatever she wants,” but okay. I also agree that you can’t base health on thinness alone.
    I was on a steady work out schedule for the last 6 weeks or so. But last week was rough and we had to put our beloved pet to sleep Friday and I haven’t gotten back out there yet. I’m hoping the time change helps because it won’t be so dark in the morning now (that’s when I typically jog.)
    So, yeah, she needs to have a seat.

    • OTHER RENEE says:

      Jenb, I’m so truly sorry for your loss. I hope memories of happy times with your beloved pet will offer some comfort to you.

    • Krakken says:

      Maybe she should eat some makeup. So she can be pretty on the inside.
      It Must truly suck to be that vacuous. This is the woman who thinks Piven is a great guy.

      • Debbie Young says:

        Haahaaa, yes she should eat some makeup because she is ugly on the inside and not so good on the outside., she drinks way to much and will hook up with whomever to move ahead,…Facts.

    • Sophia's Side eye says:

      Sorry for your loss, JenB. It’s so hard to lose a pet. They’re a member of the family.

    • Lady D says:

      So sorry, JenB. A heart breaking loss. I wish I could help.

    • Angel says:

      Oh, I am sorry for your loss. 🙁 🙁

    • Liberty says:

      JenB, so sorry for your loss.

    • magnoliarose says:

      Sorry for your loss. They are our babies too. 🙁

      When people say, they eat what they want they neglect to mention what that is. I eat what I want! (but it is salad and broth)

  3. Simpatico says:

    She needs to read Roxane Gay’s “Hunger.”

  4. Kitten says:

    This woman is fucking awful.

    “Please don’t judge those of us who chose to be fit” yeah because that’s a thing that happens all the time. Ugh eff off, lady.

    • Kit says:

      Imagine if your biggest concern in life was being judged for being fit. And actually thinking people had enough interest to give a fart in a high wind whether you exercised or not. I think it might have been a long time between hugs for this little petal.

    • Veronica says:

      I want to assure her that it’s not her looks that are the problem.

      It’s her personality.

  5. skyblue says:

    Ok. I’m not going to judge her because she’s fit but I am going to judge the kissy-face picture. I want that pose to go away.

  6. Patricia says:

    “There is absolutely no excuse in not staying fit and healthy”…. um…. how about my dear friend who used to ride his bike for miles a week and lift weights regularly, who is now barely able to walk due to MS? I mean come on now, what an ignorant thing to say. Be glad you’re able-bodied and shut your mouth.

    • Beth says:

      Joanna Krupa seems to be a cocky person who speaks before she thinks. Lots and lots of people out there would love to be able to be physically active, but can’t be. I’d never call them lazy or say they have no excuse. Thoughtless people like her, drive me crazy

    • isabelle says:

      When I was first a nurse one of the big shocks that happened to mean, people living a very healthy lifestyles were often Dx. with cancer to heart problems. People eating junk all day, never lifted a finger to exercise would walk out with minor consequences. Unfortunately genetics and things out of our control is the real culprit of illness.

    • lucy2 says:

      That’s what I was thinking. She thinks there are no excuses and EVERY SINGLE PERSON should be able to do what she does?
      OK then. Don’t ever get into a car accident. Don’t ever suffer from depression. Don’t ever get diagnosed with cancer or some other life threatening or debilitating illness. Don’t ever live in a food desert. Don’t ever have to work three jobs just to break even and have no time or energy for anyone else.
      She should be thankful for her good fortune and stop judging everyone else.

      • Liberty says:

        This.

      • pinetree13 says:

        No kidding!

        And even way less extreme examples….is she going to watch my two young children for me, clean my house, do my volunteer job and do errands so I can work out during my limited time away from my full-time job???? Working out regularly just isn’t a reality for some of us depending on what stage of life we are in and what access we have. I was just trying to do a few minutes of stretching this morning and the toddler would JUST NOT leave me alone or stay out of the way. And my list of to-do’s is depressingly long.

      • Natalie S says:

        Yes. +1000

      • FLORC says:

        Lucy
        I really want to believe her phrasing is just awful. Like she’s a walking meme with those no excuses inspirational quotes that have no shades of gray. You do or you don’t.
        Maybe I’m giving her too much credit.

      • MM says:

        Karma’s a bitch sometimes….imagine in 10 years she is suffering, let’s say, of post-partum depression and she’s prescribed anti-depressants like celexa or antipsychotics like seroquel that would make her blow-up overnight without her even changing her diet or fitness routine.
        Imagine that, and then imagine her thinking about what she said back in the days…that would be bitter but it would teach her a lesson…..

    • Veronica says:

      Seriously. Um, let me think here…poverty, disability, disease, time constraints, side effects from medication…

      Exactly what does she consider fit, too? Under a certain dress size? Would she be shocked to learn that some obese people regularly work out and eat fairly decently?

  7. Marin says:

    Who?

  8. Harla says:

    All this obsession with fitness and weight is definitely a first world problem. There are so many around the world who are “skinny” because they can’t get enough to eat, who work ungodly hours just to scrap by, who’s children beg to support their families. I think that folks like Miss Krupa really need to take a step back and be thankful for all they have, be grateful that they have access to nutritious food, that they have bodies that are strong enough to get them from point A to point B, that they don’t have to walk 5 miles just to get water for their families. Just take a seat and be grateful.

    • Mle428 says:

      I had some health issues (bulging discs…ugh) recently. Between that, full time grad school, my full time job, and my toddler (who gets most of my free time, because I miss him when I’m not home), I haven’t been to the gym in a month.

      Weirdly, I’m almost as skinny as I’ve ever been, but it sure isn’t because I’m healthy. It’s from eating on the run, and stress. You can’t judge health on physical appearance alone.

      Also, 38 years old, my a**. I thought she was in her mid-40’s.

    • Christin says:

      I saw a greeting card yesterday that said something to the effect: “Happy birthday to a person who is so dedicated to working out and watching what you eat.” Inside: “But we all get older anyway.”

    • CynicalAnn says:

      This. And the older I get, the more I realize this.

  9. Myhairisfullofsecrets says:

    Please don’t give this woman a platform or anymore publicity. She’s vile.

  10. Megan says:

    I was sanctimonious about this stuff before I had my son, I enjoy working out and think there are so many benefits but I’ll admit to skipping workouts in lieu of a quick walk when my toddler and work and the household chores and exhausted me, and I’m not “lazy” in the least and quick fortunate in terms of the support and resources I have. Do what you can is my new motto!

    • Mle428 says:

      Me too! Now I consider a walk to the park my exercise. I’d love to do more, but have a super busy life right now. I occasionally sneak in a Barre class, but that’s an unusual event these days.

      Chasing a toddler is a workout in and of itself. 😥

      • Lady D says:

        I consider toddlers among the fastest creatures on earth. I don’t understand why nature programs haven’t figured this out.

  11. Beth says:

    I haven’t been to the gym since I graduated high school 21 years ago, but nobody ever calls me lazy. My exercise is walking a few miles a day, and since Trump became president, I walk more to relieve stress. I’ve always calmed anger and stress by taking long walks through the neighborhood. If she says ” I have always eaten anything I wanted, ” then why does she want to be on a strict diet?

  12. Des says:

    All that working out and she’s still an ugly person. If only her personality could get a work out.

    • isabelle says:

      She isn’t that hot either, IMO she is bit average. Her money is why she looks as good as she does but if you really look at her, she isn’t that spectacular.

  13. Shambles says:

    Ugh. Anyway,

    “In the first months of Trump’s presidency, I worked out A LOT. So much that I actually strained myself a bit.”

    I’m glad I clicked this, only for this line. Thanks for sharing. I have a year-old shoulder strain that I blame completely on Donald Trump. I got on my yoga mat for the first time after he was elected, and I was so damn out of it that I went into a pose that my body wasn’t ready for. I still have pain to this day. Thanks, Trump.

  14. Jess says:

    She really is an awful person, this is the second time she’s making headlines this week for saying something incredibly stupid. First she claims women are taking advantage of the Harvey Weinstein stories and lying about their attacks, now this BS. Brandi Glanville was right to bash her, she’s a jerk, and she was the one who started that fight by saying nasty comments about Brandi!

  15. Shannon says:

    So dumb. I eat pretty healthy, but I also smoke. My ‘workout,’ if you can even call it that, is just walks downtown and squats and some situps in the morning (if that, I’m not even close to religious about it). But I’m naturally pretty thin – my whole family is. I personally know several women who likely weigh more than I do but are also much healthier. One of my good friends (and she’s 5’9″ so she surely does weigh more than my 5’2″) but she’s given up smoking, caffeine, alcohol and follows a strict workout routine. Dollars to donuts she’s healthier than I am. And I’m happy for her. We all have different lifestyles that work for us. Joanna needs to take a seat and stfu

  16. MC2 says:

    She should be cancelled & I honk for no more Joanna Krupa. I hope she takes they money she earned from suing someone just to protect her pu$$y’s reputation & disappears into the darkness.

  17. NikkiNikki says:

    I hope she finds peace within herself one day. You do not have to tear others down to make a point.

    -N

  18. A. S says:

    I just learned her name through celebitchy over the weekend and how she’s “canceled” b/c she shamed Weinstein’s victims. Now you guys are talking about her gym habits!? Celebitchy just got LAME to me. Liars too. #fakefeminists #hypocrites #uncancelsforHeadlines

  19. dina says:

    I cannot with this self-righteous POS, what a judgemental betch. Ugh. These comments along with her comments on Piven piss me off so hard. /rant

  20. LittlefishMom says:

    Literally have no idea who this woman is.

  21. Agent Fang says:

    Another perfectionist. Over the past week I’ve realized that I identify more with broken people than I do with people who have got it together. And that’s broken not beaten.

  22. magnoliarose says:

    I do workout every day, but it isn’t just for fitness or appearance. It helps me mentally, but I have to be careful about overdoing it when I am stressed. After the election, I was running every day and then swimming, and I couldn’t stop until I hurt myself. It was also during a hard time in my life when I didn’t want any downtime to reflect or wallow.
    I don’t follow her or pay attention to her so maybe someone did judge her, but it seems silly to then attack people for having other things to do besides working out.
    I do yoga and go swimming with my kids but it isn’t a workout for me, we just have a lot of fun. Everything is secondary to the activities I do with my children so if it means skipping a day or two I don’t care.

    She’s being disingenuous about being judged. I think it was just another opportunity to brag and shame, so she threw in some victimization to thwart criticism.

  23. can't even says:

    Can we stop calling her a Real Housewife star? Her show was cancelled years ago…

  24. Veronica says:

    Ah, and I’m sure that the only people she deems “fit and healthy” are those who wear a pant size under size 6. It’s not as though plenty of larger people work out and eat relatively healthy. 9_9 I suppose if your looks are primarily what you have to offer to the world, they seem a lot more important than they actually are.

  25. raincoaster says:

    She should fire her trainer, because those arms are nothing special.

  26. FLORC says:

    I’ve done the fitness stuff. Spin instructor, yes instructor, Barre, etc… ace cert for 2 years at some point. It’s that world. You’re in it or you’re not. I think she got consumed in a drinking the crossfit koolaid kind of way. Meaning to an extreme no excuses.

    And yes… No one has the time they want for the things they want. You make time. You make it work or you dont. Be it can’t or won’t.
    I’m typing this on my phone. On a stair climber after a 10 hour day. I’m glad I made it. My meals are preplanned. I make time for this by sacrificing on other areas. Some people could but won’t make those sacrifices for a workout. Or won’t sacrifice their food for healthier options. I get what she’s saying. She’s just saying it terribly.

    • Agent Fang says:

      Why is it so important to you that your entire life has to revolve around it? Personally I’d go insane from the mind numbing repetition of exercising more than four times a week.

      • FLORC says:

        It’s extremely important to me for a few reasons. Heres 2 to keep typing short. It keeps my cardiovascular system strong. Before I got into running and lifting I needed a rescue inhaler on me always. Nebulizer treatments since I was 3 years old varying between a few times a month to 3 times a day. It makes the difference to strengthen my lungs. If I’ve gone without that exercise breathing does become worse for me.

        Also, a major stress reliever. It’s like my coffee or a beer to others. The focus needed. The meditation of running to shut out the negative parts of the day.

        It’s tough for some to get into. Once you’re in though… amazing. And its not easy. Which is great imo. You push yourself to do what you couldn’t previously. Achieve something. Those athletes you see break down into tears after winning or just completing. It’s a feeling you don’t understand until you experience it.

        I feel better, I function better, I like how I look better. That’s why I make the time for it. And my life evolves as much around it as others evolve around eating for example. You do it to keep yourself alive. It’s not an obsession. I feel like your phrasing was mildly condescending.

  27. Electric Tuba says:

    Can she do anything besides make fart noises with her mouth?

  28. CynicalAnn says:

    Who? I don’t even know who she is. A Real Housewives of whatever? God-isn’t it enough that we have a Reality Tv President who is totally unqualified? We know have to hear from the rest of them and their opinions on anything?

  29. Island_girl says:

    That woman cannot be 38 years old. She’s definitely in her mid 40’s.

  30. Rachel says:

    I have worked out my entire life, hardcore and in competitive sports. For the last two years I stopped working out hard and just walk with my dogs. My body has never felt better. No more aches and pains and tiredness. I focus more on a healthy diet and don’t stress about it. I have lost weight since doing this. I don’t want to workout everyday anymore, I want to relax and enjoy my life without a back pain from too much exercise lol

  31. Peaches22 says:

    She was also judging Weinstein victims. I had a friend victim blame them too. This same friend had victim blamed me when I was sexually assaulted at a bar a few years ago. Not sure why I stayed friends with her. Anyhow , during our discussion , I calmly mentioned how she victim blamed me. Then she proceeded to victim blame me again. It’s sad, we’ve been friends for 10 years but now I know it’s over and we can’t go back.

  32. I run almost every day and do marathons. You all who don’t run marathons are lazy and there’s no excuse… yeah, no. Bullshit. You do what you can to keep yourself healthy and screw Joanna Krupa. I’m tired of being achy and painy. I think I’m going to cut back on the competitive racing and just run for fun and amp up my swimming. I will be much happier.
