It's the weekend, your time to sit back, relax and enjoy some late-morning snooze sessions. While weekends are great for catching up on sleep and much-needed R&R, they can offset your diet and weight loss goals that you've been keeping up with all week long.

The antidote? Rev up your workout routine and squeeze in a bootcamp-style workout (or two).

It's another week of looming deadlines and the calendar's chock full of to-do items, which means getting to the gym might not be high on the priority list for yet another seven days. If you want to stay in shape, you do have some options outside of the usual gym circuit.

A few tweaks to your morning routine, and modifying your daily activities ever so slightly, might just be all you need to keep that metabolism revved up and keep you in shape.
