Warming up to me has always been just a few minutes of Remington's and maybe a round of simple lip slurs. Just enough to get the membrane of my lips moistened and stretched. Anything beyond that was always part of my practice routine (scales, complex slurs, etudes). Sometimes I didn't have time for the additional exercises and just went straight to rehearsing whatever piece(s) of music or solo(s) I was doing at the time and I never noticed a difference in my abilities. Get some opinions and experiment and see what works for you.
I am not a professional musician.
Your mileage may vary.
