Taylor Lautner wasn't the only New Moon star who worked out obsessively to get in shape for all the Twilight sequels.
Ashley Greene, who plays adorable vampire Alice Cullen, says the entire cast trained four hours a day to prep for the ramped-up action scenes in New Moon and its sequel, Eclipse.
"We had a personal trainer and then we also had fight training," Greene, 22, tells Us. "It was a good four hours a day of training."
As for dieting, Ashley--who looks slimmer in New Moon--says she hardly had time to eat, thanks to the film's hectic shooting schedule.
"We were working 12 hours a day, so it didn't leave too much time to eat," says Greene. When she did eat, she snacked on "really healthy stuff."
To maintain her killer bikini body, the gorgeous Ashley does Pilates six days a week but avoids weight-lifting, saying it bulks her up. "I do [Pilates] early in the morning," she says. "It wakes you up, and it's kind of refreshing. I am not a big weight person because when I do weights I build muscle mass."
Ashley--who was a cheerleader in high school--took up mixed-martial arts (MMA) training for Eclipse, the third installment in the Twilight saga.
"I get to fight in Eclipse," says Greene. "My trainer is teaching me MMA right now. So. Cool. But I feel if I was in a real fight, I’d get my a-- kicked. We’re just now moving up to more advanced stuff, toward being able to actually kick somebody’s a--.”
Greene, who recently made headlines after racy nude photos of her surfaced online, says her dream role is to be a James Bond girl. “I want to hit up James Bond," she says. "That would be awesome.”
For now, Ashley and her young co-stars will be busy until at least 2011, filming and promoting all the Twilight sequels (Eclipse wrapped shooting Oct. 30, and Breaking Dawn is next on tap).
New Moon, which co-stars Robert Pattinson, Kellan Lutz, Taylor Lautner, Nikki Reed and Kristen Stewart, is in theaters now.
