I incline walk on treadmill or use the elliptical for 10 minutes. I do some body weight squats and lunges. Then I do a low weight set of squats or deadlifts. Then I start.

I don't do the low weight set before each exercise.

After I do 10 minutes of stretching.

I do the Jillian Micheals warm up from the 30 day shred.

I'm quite bad at my warm ups but then the room I work out in at home is quite hot which helps my normal warm up is 3-5 mins stationary bike and a quick barbell complex with the empty bar

I do 5 mins on the Eliptical then another 5 mins of dynamic stretching. Then I do the first exercise at 50% of the weight for one set.

I do a really good stretch out at the end of the workout and use the foam roller for a good 10 minutes.

I've not had any injury problems so far, touch wood!

I usually warm up on the treadmill -- 3 minutes walking, 5-12 minutes running, 3 minutes walking. Once in a while, I just do the elliptical for 5 minutes, if I'm pressed for time.

Before I do my initial set of weights, I do a quick set without the weights, just to stretch out, then a set with just the bar (deadlifts and squats only), and then move on to my normal weights. For things other than deads and squats, I do the set without weights, just putting my body through the motions, and then add weights.

I don't do the warm-up in the book.

I do 5 mins on elliptical and about 3 on treadmille, stretching between each rep. I did much better this am too:)
