[x]   Transcript: Between the first and second Twilight movies, Taylor Lautners character went from a scrawny teenager to a fierce werewolf. A transformation that meant packing on 30 pounds of lean muscle in one year. Lautner was even more ripped when the third Twilight came out, and hell probably continue to grow for films four and five. I guess being shirtless on screen for 2 and half hours is an excellent motivational tool to get a ripped 6-pack. So, how did he do it? Lautners trainer, Jordan Yuam, has said there are these two things you have to do if you want abs like Taylor Lautner. First, work your core no more than three days a week on nonconsecutive days. And second; use a variety of exercises that work all of the muscles between your hips and chest. Were going to show one of the best moves Yuam used during Lautners workout, so you can add it to your own routine. It's called a "Swiss Ball Pike". This move starts in a pushup position with your arms completely straight. Your hands should be slightly wider than and in line with your shoulders. You want to rest your shins on a Swiss ball so that your body forms a straight line from your head to your ankles. Without bending your knees, start to roll the Swiss ball toward your body by raising your hips as high as you can up toward the ceiling. Pause here, then lower your hips and roll the ball back to the starting position and do it again. You're really going to feel this a lot in the lower abdominal region, as well as in the hip flexors. For best results, you're going to want to perform this 3 or 4 sets of 8 to 10 reps. Try weaving this movement into your own workout, and you'll get the impressive results that Taylor did.
