Bridget Marquardt's trapeze fitness

Bridget Marquardt is installing a "vintage" trapeze in her hallway.

The former 'Girls Next Door' beauty - who split from Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner last year - loves using the unusual exercise equipment to stay in shape, and has decided to make it into a feature at 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."

Bridget and her movie director boyfriend Nicholas Carpenter are planning to build a water slide into the swimming pool at the property, while Bridget also wants to transform one of the bedrooms into a special showroom for her 'Girls Next Door' memorabilia.
