Welcome to the CEO Diet, a new monthly series in Bloomberg Businessweek , where executives from around the world tell us how they manage their time away from the office. First up was breakfast. Now, we’re talking exercise. It turns out that top CEOs and Presidents favor a wide variety of workouts, from 2 minute meditations to riding the futuristic EllipticGO around New York.
