Nothing but a good hard workout today. After working out for 4 days straight, I was getting pretty sore. Especially my back from those tricep rope pullups and the pushups yesterday. A good warm up was all I needed to lube up my muscles and get them ready to go.
Warming up to some people is usually a 5 minute bike ride, walk or run, then a bunch of static stretching (bend over and touch your toes for 20 seconds). This is NOT a good warmup. Our bodies actually relax more and shut down the reaction time of our muscles when we hold stretches. The best warm up you can do would include dynamic movements as found in this or this video. This helps prepare your body (nerves and muscles) for movements you are going to do during your workout or sport.
