What does your warm-up look like?

I hardly ever warm up, but in the interest of building good habits and taking better care of my joints, I'm thinking I should start! When I do bother to warm up, I usually do arm circles, some hamstring and hip stretches. Other days I do a few reps with the empty bar.

What about you? What does your warm-up look like?

(Mods, can we get a discussion tag?)

Enough cardio to get warm, which could be the journey to the gym by bike or foot, then a few reps with empty bar or light weight.
