Carrie Johnson is a mum to four young children, Wilfred, Romy, Frank, and Poppy, so we imagine the 38-year-old is super busy, which leads us to wonder how she manages to maintain her super-toned figure.
Boris Johnson's wife often shares wow-worthy bikini photos of herself, as well as impressing her loyal followers with her svelte figure, one particular snap gave an insight into how Carrie sculpts her toned physique.
The sensational swimwear photo showed Carrie atop a paddleboard, and it turns out the watery activity could be key to her toned glutes and strong legs.

"Despite it being a relaxing workout whilst experiencing the great outdoors, paddleboarding is a full body workout and targets muscles such as your triceps, biceps, abs, lats, rhomboid, hamstring, traps, quadriceps, to name only a few."
As for how her favourite watersport keeps Carrie toned, David adds: "Paddleboarding can keep us toned in many ways, with one of the biggest benefits being your core strength.

Carrie's strong arms, which she likely needs for carrying her three little ones, can also be attributed to her hobby, according to David.
"Another main benefit of paddle boarding is helping to tone your arms, this is due to you simply not being able to paddle without your arm muscles. Your triceps and biceps are fully engaged and will be strengthening them every time you paddle."
Carrie's health and fitness secrets

Or, given that Oxford is known for being fabulous for rowing along the Thames, perhaps Carrie plans to paddleboard on the famous river this summer.
Little is known about Carrie's exact workout regime, but the ex-PM's wife has shed a little insight into her health and wellness tips over the years.
Prioritising her long-term well-being, she previously revealed a post-partum partnership with the ZOE personalized nutrition program, which uses scientific data and testing to tailor diets for better gut health and overall well-being.

Carrie was even reported to have supported Boris' weight loss journey in 2019, when the former Prime Minister dropped almost a stone in weight after cutting down on his "late-night binges of chorizo and cheese", as well as quitting drinking, according to his column in The Spectator.
She also encouraged him to try a vegan diet, which saw him reportedly lose 12 pounds in just two weeks.
