What are warm-ups (clothing)?

Question

In P.E. (physical education class, basically play sports) at school we have to wear certain types of clothing and you can either wear mesh shorts and a cotton t-shirt, or, our P.E. coach gave us the option, a t-shirt and since it is colder now, "warm-ups". She motioned to her own pants, which were sweatpants made out of the swishy, slippery sort of material. She also said no pockets, because she said people can catch you by your pockets in games and stuff. And I wish I looked good in shorts, but I never wear them because I look H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E in them (or at least i think) because I have a birthmark on my legs. So I want to wear these "warm-ups", and I have the sort of pants without pockets that you pull up, without any zippers or anything, and they're made out of a sort of velvety stuff with a band of elastic covered in cloth at the top. The elastic part has two ribbon things that come out that you're supposed to tie togther, and are those warm-ups? What ARE warm-ups?

Answer 1

uh that thing that is what it is ...........

Answer 2

I'm not sure about the velvety material that the pants you have now are made of, but the rest of those pants sound like warm-ups. Warm-ups are like sweatpants--they're really cozy. We wore them in P.E., too. Usually, warm-ups are made out of the same cotton material as sweatshirts or hoodies--fleecey on the inside, woven on the outside. And they have elastic waistbands (sometimes with the ribbon ties, sometimes not). The classic style ones have elastic cuffs, too, but not all of them do now. Fortunately, they're super-cheap. You know that brand "Hanes" that Wal-mart and stores like that has? They usually have a ton of those, in all diff colors. I'd get a couple of pairs like those, because they're not really the thing to spend a lot of money on, and any brand is basically the same.

I guess the slippery sort of material pants can be warm-ups too, but those are usually more expensive, and you might have to go to a sports clothing store for those. I usually thought those were uncomfortable, too--a lot of times they have mesh lining that would get twisted around my legs, and they always felt rough against my skin.

Hope that helps! :)

Answer 3

Warm ups are the nylon pants with an elastic band at the cuffs and waist. They come with a matching light weight jacket sometimes. Sports players wear them for practice alot. Just google it if you need further explanation.

Answer 4

You can wear what you have, they sound like sweats,"sweat pants" the term "warm ups" is just what she calls them, different areas call them other names. Sweats are Warm ups. Their called these names because they are meant to be worn while you stretch and do limbering exercises to get the muscles warmed up before really strenuous exercise. They are also to keep you from chilling cramping hot muscles after running or dancing or other sport events, you wear them to "cool down" Its just like a cool out blanket on a horse, to let the sweat dissipate slowly so he doesn't cramp up, the sheet has holes just like a people jersey(:. Have fun in Gym!

Answer 5

You can go at any sport stores such as Big 5, Champs, etc and look for the brand called UNDER ARMOUR. They have a selection of what you may look good on. They are expensive though on these shops but once you know how they look like and what is available you can then go to outlet stores such as Ross, TJ Maxx, etc I have seen them there for less than half price.

Answer 6

warm ups are the pants and jackets that athletes wear when they arent playing to keep their bodies warm, just like you said, Nylon type stuff, that may or may not be lined. All kinds of sports stores have them, even wal-mart, or pennys or sears, anywhere.

Answer 7

Those should count as warm-ups. I think any athletic type pants that don't have pockets would be acceptable. If you're still not sure, ask your coach to clarify.

Answer 8

Yeah that sounds about right but why not just wear like full-length under armour/spandex? or just go to google images and google warm-ups

Answer 9

Warm ups can be anything from a tshirt and shorts... to a hoodie (bunnyhug, hooded sweater) and sweats. basically anything you would wear to a gym.

Answer 10
