How BURPEES are Anaerobic but Train the VO2max?

In this video, I explain how can you train for conditioning or for VO2max only with burpees and why the burpee is in fact a form of anaerobic exercise. Your fitness level doesn't matter, nor any other exercise out there, and thus, burpees are great for almost any type of person out there if boosting conditioning is what you want. Very few exercises out there are anaerobic by their nature. In calisthenics, most of them are pretty much somewhere in the middle, and we classify them depending on the metabolic processes required to convert chemical energy into mechanical work and depending on the types of muscle fibers they employ during exercising. Obviously, aerobic exercises will utilize mostly slow-twitch fibers because they are performed with and in the presence of oxygen. Now, BURPEES are not anaerobic by nature, but because you are doing it repeatedly, with rhythmicity, effort and intensity keep increasing, and also because you recruit more muscle groups systematically, it gradually goes towards anaerobic training. So, in a way, at the beginning of your training, a burpee is more aerobic, but because they consume a lot of energy, even if it is far from a submaximal strength exercise, it will still get very close to an anaerobic metabolism rather quickly. What I'm saying is not bro-science. It's pure physiology. Therefore, burpees can easily be conditioning training without adding any more exercises or form of training whatsoever. In fact, I dare to say that you could train for VO2MAX with BURPEES alone. Shortly, when doing burpees, the oxygen demand increases proportionally with intensity. This makes the muscles need more oxygen. Your heart rate keeps going up to drive blood with nutrients and oxygen. As the effort adds up, you gradually get close to your maximum level of oxygen consumption, right below the total anaerobic effort. This is the VO2MAX training.
