I normally walk to my gym which can take up to ten minutes there and ten minutes back. Hopefully, this counts as a warm up. Prefer to stretch after my workout.

I don't ever skip warm up or cool down. I use mostly workout videos anyway. All of them do warm ups and cool downs

A good reference is Dr. Sears book PACE The 12 Minute Fitness Revolution, recommended reading for all Spark members. Good luck to all.
