+1 my joints feel better since I have started doing this.

I used to hate long warmups and would skip them Also too impatient for cooldown/stretches in my youth Now I will often add another workout or do my own extra warmup and cooldown if I'm doing a vigorous workout that has inadequate length of either. Moderate workouts don't usually need as long but I listen to my body. it might need it if I did a hard workout the day before. For my gentle or low key workouts it's not necessary to have long of either.

when i used to use my polar HR monitor, i noticed that it takes me around 30 min before i'm thoroughly warmed up.
As it is, my RHR is really low, and i recover really quickly. once my HR has elevated and stayed that way, that's when i can tell i'm warmed up. That said, i don't usually impose a warm-up that long! instead, i just monitor my perceived exertion. if i feel like really amping it up, i do, but only moderately so, i do so not by jumping up and down, but by really elongating my large muscle groups. that's plenty of intensity for me. yes to this - if i am playing the intro of a DVD, i walk in place the entire time in making that my warm-up. i recall how people complained about long commercials before or during a workout - i now use those times to march vigorously in place or do extra reps as the case may be.
