Taylor Lautner Workout Enters Twilight Lore

The Taylor Lautner workout is a new routine, but the results of the Taylor Lautner workout are indisputable. All the Taylor Lautner workout consists of is non-stop exercise, 3,200 calories a day, and a desire to keep one's job. Taylor Lautner's workout didn't come by choice, as it was the only way he could play Jacob in Twilight: New Moon. Now, the Taylor Lautner workout has not only kept him from getting recast, it has made him an even bigger and beefier Twilight poster child than Robert Pattinson himself.

Taylor Lautner didn't need to work out so much when he first became Jacob in Twilight. As fans know, Jacob was only a small part in the original, then became a major figure in New Moon. Since Edward Cullen is absent for much of New Moon, it is really Jacob who is the male lead in the story, as the werewolf competitor for Bella Swan's heart.

But in New Moon, Jacob has bulked up to a nearly God-like status, to the delight of Bella and countless female readers. So Taylor Lautner needed a major workout routine, if he was going to play Jacob again. After weeks of intense dedication, and 30 pounds of muscle, Lautner finally got to stay on board, and the rest is history.

Since Jacob is half naked through much of New Moon, the results of the Taylor Lautner workout speak for themselves. Jacob's big muscles and lack of a shirt may be the most swoon-worthy part of New Moon for fans - and the most mocked element of the film for anti-Twilight haters.

The original Twilight was both mocked and loved for worshiping Robert Pattinson in all his physical glory. But Pattinson's eyes and hair made Bella and others weak at the knees, even though he isn't too bulky. Lautner is at the other extreme, and he may not be done yet.

Thanks to the Taylor Lautner workout, the Team Edward vs Team Jacob wars are even more heated than they were when the books came out. But Lautner told Men's Health in a recent cover story that he wants to get even bigger for Eclipse, the third part of the Twilight Saga. Eclipse comes out in June, so Lautner had to get back in the gym very quickly.

Given what he went through to reprise Jacob, such requirements would mean nothing to Lautner. But since his workout routine has gone down so well for New Moon fanatics, it may not take as much convincing to let him stick around this time.

Once the New Moon box office comes out, and once shirtless Jacob pictures replace Edward posters, the Taylor Lautner workout will go down in pop culture history - even more than it already has.
