compare: ChaleneExtreme, LesMillsPump, BodyBeast

AHASRADA

I am looking into changing my routine for the next phase of my fitness program. I like the looks of Chalene Extreme, but I understand Beach Body also offers other weight training systems. All three of these programs interest me.

I would like to know how they compare in difficulty level and also in equipment required. Do they all incorporate some cardio in addition to the weight training? If I were to eventually do all 3, which one would your recommend I start with, next, and last?

Thanks!

I have Chalean Extreme and really like it. It is mostly a strength training program where you'd need dumbbells but there are also 2 workouts that are mostly cardio and also and ab and stretch workout. I have not tried Pump or Body Beast, but my impression from friends that have done them is that Pump is a high rep, low weight kind of program(I think the barbell and weights come with the program) and Body Beast is more of a weight training type of program using heavier weights(so you'd need dumbbells). I don't know if Beast also has cardio workouts.
