At the moment, I’m in the last phase of my Bellyfat Challenge — I’ve lost a good amount of fat but I have about 10 pounds to go (or so).

I’m enjoying getting lean, but those last few pounds are always the toughest.

And so, I’ve called in some experts.

Last week, I shared my favorite fitness bloggers and, in turn, the fitness blogs they read. This week I’ve called on them for tips on getting lean.

Now, let’s look at the question I’ve posed to them:

• I asked for their top tips for getting lean. Not every tip, just the best.
• Assume the person isn’t obese but has a bit of a spare tire
• Assume the person already exercises regularly and tries to eat “healthy” most of the time.

So, if you have a lot of fat to lose, this guide won’t be for you. I’d suggest some other posts:

• 4 Simple Steps to Start the Exercise Habit
• How to Make Exercise a Daily Habit
• Five Simple Exercise Programs for Beginners
• The Building Blocks of a Super Healthy Diet (with a sample meal plan)
• A 12-Step Program to Eating Healthier Than Ever Before

If you’re looking to get rid of that last bit of stubborn fat, here are some great tips.
