Dancing with the Stars' competitor Joanna Krupa is so sore in places on her body that she's reaching for Advil three times a day to last through her workouts.

A huge fan favorite with Season 9's DWTS' fans, model Joanna told Fox News in an exclusive interview the training has branched into six hours a day, making dieting a non-issue but pain something to think about.

"I am sore in places I haven't been before," Krupa told FOx. "So I've been taking Advil every day three times a day. I've also been getting massages if I get too sore."

With partner Derek Hough, the two came in third place for Week 3, behind dancing couples Mýa and Dmitry and Natalie Coughlin and Alec.

"We definitely have chemistry but it’s all innocent... I couldn't have asked for a better partner because he is so goofy and we have a blast in rehearsals," she said.

Ah, the rumor mill around the dancers. Aaron and Karina, who took first place in Week 2, have been exposed to the media whirl around possible love on the dance floor. But for Joanna and her dancing man, it's all in great fun.

"I don't think I have ever laughed as much in my life as I do in our rehearsals. He makes it fun and not all about being serious and tough on me."

Quite possibly a total change-up from her modeling days. 

The Polish-American model and actress has worked her body on the cover of magazines like ENVY, FHM and most recently posed nude for Maxim and has modeled for Playboy.

Because she's busy Dancing with the Stars, the bikini model hasn't had much time for anything else fitness, but when she's not practicing her twinkle toes, the TV reality star says fitness is very much a part of her life.

"I try to have the same routine all the time because it's just makes it easier to keep in shape and not let yourself go," Krupa said in an interview with Models Observer. "I try to keep myself at a certain weight, workout with trainer and also on the Precor machine."

When it comes to eating, Joanna balances the good and evil.

"I try to balance out what I eat in which I count calories. I don't deny myself sweets or certain foods if I have cravings I just balance it out or make sure I workout that day."

She added, "I don't aspire to be a size zero like I just saw at the NY fashion week, as I view that as a sad and unattractive image of a woman... I wanna look healthy, toned and curvy. "
