Spanish translation:burpee (búrpi)

Explanation:
Hi Beatriz, an up-down is the same as a burpee, see my references below. I found an explanation in Spanish in wikipedia where 'búrpi' is used in brackets, but I think that is just a pronunciation guide. From what I can gather the English term 'burpee' seems to be used in Spanish.

References:

Burpees are also known as 'Up-downs" for those who prefer not to use the word.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burpee_(exercise)

Burpees, also known as Up Downs are a great exercise for entire body, but with emphasis on your chest and shoulders. Consider using Burpees in your warm up before going into the other circuit training exercises, it raises your heart rate in a hurry.
