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!

    Host Tom Butler opens with a look at what's pushing him to get out on the bike more lately, including a recent lab report that didn't go the way he wanted. It's the kind of moment that can either derail a fitness journey or fuel it, and Tom is honest about how he's choosing to use it.

    Then Tom welcomes Julie Donnelly, author of The Pain Free Athlete and a practitioner who has spent her career helping people get free of the pain that quietly derails so many active lives. Julie's approach is built on a powerful idea. She believes people can be taught to treat themselves, and in this conversation she shares what that looks like in practice. It's a great discussion for anyone who wants to keep cycling, and keep moving, for the long haul.

    Host Tom Butler continues to be real about his own fitness journey and just how common his experience really is. He also dives into the most concrete expression yet of an idea at the heart of the show: the bicycle as a medical device, spotlighting the Exercise is Medicine® initiative from the American College of Sports Medicine, which is working to make physical activity a standard part of clinical care.

    Then Tom sits down with Stanley Bronstein, who shares a remarkable personal story of transformation through fitness and the hard-won philosophy he calls The Way of Excellence, his distillation of the principles that lead to lasting success. Stanley's story is one of consistency in a world that doesn't always make it easy to stay committed to an active life.
