Warm-blooded means that at rest, the animal keeps its body warm and above the temperature of its surroundings.

Cold-blooded means that at rest, the animals body temperature is the same as that of its surroundings.

Cold-blooded animals have to warm themselves up (usually by sunning them selves or by vibrating their muscles) before they become active while warmblooded animals are already warm and ready for action. Also warmblooded animals can operate at temperatures where cold-blooded animals can not (eg polar bears).
