Carrie Johnson is mum to three young children, Wilfred, three, Romy, one, and Frank, four months, so we imagine the 35-year-old is super busy, which leads us to wonder how she manages to maintain her super-toned figure.
Boris Johnson's wife shared a wow-worthy bikini photo of herself in the summer and as well as impressing her loyal followers with her svelte figure, the candid snap gave an insight into how Carrie sculpts her toned physique.
The sensational swimwear snap 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."

Such a fan of paddleboarding, Carrie asked her followers to help advise her on the best board to invest in – perhaps she plans to take to the family moat or the pond at their Oxfordshire mansion?

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.
