From Ordinary to Extraordinary: How to Succeed in the Gym by Following My Four Basic Principals of Fitness Paperback – Import, 12 April 2015

I highly recommend this book to anyone who desires to take his or her fitness, strength and overall health to the next level. I’ve been dedicated to fitness and nutrition for almost my entire life, an aerobics instructor and have worked out consistently for more than 35 years. Even with my experience, I still learned new strategies and techniques from Brett Gunderson in this book. I wish this information would have been available to me, in such a concise, easy to understand format, 35 years ago!In addition to the step-by-step guidance on structuring your exercise program, nutrition, motivation and more, there are 120 pages of photos showing how to properly use the various types of equipment you’ll find in a modern gym. These photos are a reference you'll use again and again. It’s a fun, easy read, and unlike other books that can leave you even more confused, this author tells you exactly what you need to know to define realistic goals, get to work and get the very best results in the least amount of time. This is simply the best fitness book I’ve read.

This book is a great fitness guide and is easy to read and understand. Brett outlines the formula for successfully setting and meeting personal goals while explaining the pitfalls and how to avoid them. The book is written in a very genuine, heart felt style that offers advice based on knowledge and personal experience. In addition, the suggested workout schedules and illustrations are outstanding. One of the aspects that really impressed me was that this book doesn't promise what it can't deliver. By understanding the four basic principals and how to incorporate them into a consistent routine, success can be imminent. I highly recommend this book.

Excellent information for anyone involved in fitness, especially beginners. Lots of photos, great tips, and the layout was in a very logical sequence. It's obviously something Brett put a lot of thought into.Results have been amazing, thanks Brett!
