'Twilight' Hotties: How We Stay in Shape

June 21, 2010 Twilight

Stars of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" -- Kellan Lutz, Ashley Green and Jackson Rathbone -- gave "Extra" a few of their tips for staying in shape.

And it's just great for your body. A lot if people think that you'll lose the water weight if you cut water out. But what that does it's like a sponge -- so it holds onto the water that you have. The more hydrated your body is, the more it flushes out. So I always drink a lot -- 12 -15 bottles of water."
