Bridget Marquardt, Playboy Playmate and one of the Girls Next Door has a new travel adventure series where she visits the world’s best beaches. Bridget spoke with Muscle and Body Magazine about her new show that debuted this spring and how she stays in shape while filming. When asked about the adventurous aspects of the show she said she was thrilled:
“It’s so much an adventure. We’ve done cliff jumping, hiking, volleyball on the beach, jet skiing, weight boarding. It’s been very cool. I’m getting my workout in, and I’m doing my dream job. What more could a girl ask for?”
When asked how she maintains her bikini body she replied,
“I do a lot of different types of workouts. Now I’m doing trapeze bungee jumping, and it is amazing. It’s kind of Cirque Du Soleil style, where I have the trapeze bar but I’m attached by bungees. Three minutes of the bungee trapeze is the equivalent of walking a mile. It’s intense. I do it for about a half hour at a place called Hollywood Aerial Arts in L.A. And here at the mansion, we set up a trapeze right in the backyard. It’s not bungee, but I’m able to get all of my strength training. I do shoulder shrugs, I hang upside down on the bar and do abs, which I’ve gotten really good at.”
She went on to give some further details about her trapeze and jump rope workouts:
“I try to keep it varied. My workout of choice would always be trapeze, because there are different things you can do when you’re doing that. I do trapeze for about an hour and 15 minutes to an hour and a half. When I work out at the gym at home, I try to keep it to usually an hour — maybe 45 minutes on the elliptical rider and then 15 minutes of abs and stretching. Jumping rope is more like a half-hour workout. I take about 15 minutes to do 500 jumps.
If I throw in abs and 1,000 jumps, it’s about 45 minutes. It’s not something you have to do all at once. I usually do, like, 100 jumps, go answer a couple of e-mails, then come back and do another 100 jumps. You can’t do 1,000 jumps straight. I’m in pretty good shape, but I can do only maybe 300 at once and then I need a break. Once you build up your heart rate, then let it go down, then build it up again, that’s great for you. I’ve also found that stretching is important. Sometimes when I can’t get in a workout, if I just lay down on the floor or bed in the hotel room and just stretch a little bit, I feel so much better.”
