A warm-up should prepare you for the work—not become a negotiation you have to win first.
Some days naturally require more time. The useful clue is a repeatable change: the same squat, reach, turn, or first mile keeps needing more preparation before it feels familiar.
That observation does not diagnose the cause. It gives you a marker worth comparing. Instead of adding five new drills, repeat one simple task before and after your usual preparation and notice what actually changes.
