The Wall Street is the economic hub in the financial district of New York City teeming with moolah sharks and eager capitalists. But that does not mean they don't invest in other aspects of their lives—their health, for instance.

Some of the investment people from the premier financial center in the world are also on top of their game competing with one another for the distinction of "Wall Street's Best Athlete" in decathlon year in and year out.

The Business Insider was able to make itself privy to some of the workout plans these incredible athletes carry out in order to keep themselves on a par with the best.

Laura Placentra from Citi (Wall Street's Best Female Athlete 2015)

"In the months leading up to the Wall Street Decathlon, I trained five to six days a week, focusing on cardio and upper-body strength training," she said. "My regimen included boxing, rowing, stationary biking, paddle boarding, and free weights."

Apart from cardio and strength training, Placentra also plays coed flag football, which is something that keeps her fit and, at the same time, gives her a fitness activity that she can enjoy amid her busy schedule.

Thomas Davis of Brown Brothers Harriman

For Davis, one of the best ways to motivate yourself is by creating a competitive environment even when training. It could get really challenging trying to train for an event while doing some business travels, so he tries to develop a mini crossfit-style WOD (workout of the day) and compete on it with his colleagues traveling with him.

John Osbon of Osbon Capital Management

"Do anything. Run, jump, lift, and mix it up. Throw in ballet class when you can. Add some skill if you have it. Just move every day, taking one day off a week," he advised. And another key to staying fit for Osbon is getting enough sleep.

According to Breaking Muscle, athletes have different requirement for sleep because of their higher volume of training. And, not getting enough of it could hinder progress.

Will McHale of Axiom International Investors

McHale believes that mixing things up when it comes to one's workout is the key to avoid burnout and to keep the body from getting better. He also likes to keep his workout intensity at a high level to get results in less time. His fitness routine include interval cardio and weight lifting.

Justin Nunez of TPG Capital (Wall Street's Best Athlete 2011)

In order to be at his best and compete with anyone, Nunez runs for at least five days a week, mostly uphill, and lifting as often as he can. For his strength training, he does some form of pull-ups or dips every day. He makes it a point to complete his workouts at daybreak.
