Description

The Cycling Over Sixty Podcast is meant to provide information and inspiration for anyone wanting to get and stay fit later in life.  Host Tom Butler uses his own journey toward fitness as an example of what is possible by committing to healthy lifestyle practices.  After decades of inactivity and poor health choices, Tom took on a major cycling challenge at age 60.  He successfully completed that challenge and seeing the impact on his health, he determined to never go back to his old way of living.  Each week, Tom shares a brief update on the triumphs and challenges of his journey to live a healthy life.  

Episodes feature guests who share on a variety of fitness related topics.  Topics are sometimes chosen because they relate to Tom's journey and other times come from comments by the growing Cycling Over Sixty community. Because cycling is at the heart of Tom's fitness journey, he is frequently joined by guests talking about a wide variety of cycling related subjects.

Now in season four, the podcast is focusing a three areas. First is the area of longevity.  Guests this season will be asked to give their expert opinion on what it takes to have a long and healthy life.  A second area of focus is how to expand the  Cycling Over Sixty community so that members have more success and able to connect with other people who want to cycle later in life.  And the final focus is on how Tom can expand his cycling horizons and have even bigger adventures that entice him to continue his journey.  


If you're seeking motivation, expert insights, and a heartwarming story of perseverance, Cycling Over Sixty is for you. Listen in to this fitness expedition as we pedal towards better health and a stronger, fitter future!
