A warm up run on the treadmill before weights. I suppose since it constituted about half the duration of my workout, it no longer can be described as "warm up." A feature of the treadmill I find frustrating is the lack of ventilating air flow. When you run, bike, or especially ski outdoors, a steady flow of air convects heat and evaporates perspiration. On a static aerobic device, you swelter, especially if, as was the case today with me, the shirt you are wearing is loose.

Bench presses, curling, shoulders, and core. A light workout to prepare my body for the strain of routine strength training. Peak was 2 x 10 reps x 155 lbs on bench press, and a paltry 30 crunches on the inclined torture device.
