Bridget Marquardt, who split from
Playboy mogul
Hugh Hefner last year, loves using trapeze equipment to stay in shape and has decided to include it in her new home. She explained:
Trapeze is a great workout. It got me in the best shape in my life. The one I’m putting in my house is vintage style -- with velvet on the ropes and shiny silver balls on the ends.

Bridget, 35, moved out of the Playboy Mansion earlier this year and spent $1.7 million on a home in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles. Speaking about the property, Bridget said: "It's my first purchase like this! I've never had my own house before. We ended up with a Tuscan-style house."
