So I would focus on that, on top of normal stretching. If I saw that in a workout I would know that I need to loosen primarily the hips and the hamstrings. What does your workout involve today? Deadlifts? Squats? Shoulder Press? Running? Determining what you need to warm-up will help you get it to the 10 minute warm-up time frame.

This is probably the best way to get things done. You will definitely need to throw in some range of motion drills into your warmup.

Not a bad warm-up, but I don’t know anyone who actually does it. Note that for a workout that’s dip or pullup-centric, you might want to do something else in the warmup.

Samson Stretch (do the Samson Stretch once each round for 15-30 seconds).

By creating a light sweat it will prep your body to cool more quickly once the work begins and strain on the heart will be decreased by the ability of the blood to move more rapidly.

Giving you more power and strength while decreasing the chance of injury. Warm muscles perform better and faster in both the concentric and eccentric motion, as opposed to cold muscles.

Prevent the workout “shock” by creating a light sweat and increasing the size of your blood vessels.

Warm-up (actually increase the temperature) of blood and muscles.

There are just certain things a warm-up needs to accomplish and you should really be able to get it done in about 10 minutes. There is no secret warm-up that is going to be the best or most effective. Many people overlook the importance of a good warm-up, but on the same note I have seen some people warm up for like 30 minutes before they do any work.
