1. Later sunsets = no more excuses.

The only thing winter's 4:00 P.M. sunsets are good for is curling up on the couch in your pajamas. But the spring's light-filled evenings mean you can sneak in a fitness class and pick up ingredients for a healthy dinner after work before it gets dark out.

2. No. More. Treadmills.

Even if you're listening to your favorite songs or watching some engrossing TV while you walk, jog or run, working out on a treadmill can leave you feeling like you're not getting anywhere (figuratively and literally). Moving through the great outdoors is far more appealing and perhaps more effective (see slide 4).

3. The salad starts to sound tempting.

When it's cold outside, the last thing you want to chow down on is leafy greens. But in the springtime, a refreshing salad topped with fresh spring veggies actually sounds delish!

7. You're in good company.

The parks and gyms that were all but empty in February are now teeming with men and women in spandex. Feed off their motivation to stay committed to your workouts, too. Better yet, find a workout buddy—research shows that people who have an exercise partner tend to be more successful at losing weight.

8. It's the best time of year for walking.

Spring wins by a landslide when it comes to getting in your recommended 10,000 daily steps. After trudging through slush and snow all winter, it's a nice break before the sweltering days of summer hit.
