I always warm up, just didn't see it mentioned.
Pro tip: I do layup drills (basketball) to warm up. Yeah it's weird but if you do it hard you can get a good sweat going and it isn't boring is eff. I have a very good sequence if someone is interested. It isn't just boring LH and RH layups.
this sounds better than riding the bike. do you listen to music while doing it?
no music. too many cuts and quick movement for headphones.

what kind of layups? denis runners? jake left handed fall aways? jamar lay ups?
do 2 of these each side:
Phase 1: from the wing, one dribble to middle, finger-roll no glass
Phase 2: from the wing, one dribble to finger roll off glass on opposite side (start from LH wing, finish on RH side of glass).
Phase 3: from the baseline, one dribble, two step layup off the glass. (inside foot is pivot, take big first step, finish jumping off inside foot. dribble w/ baseline hand, finish w/ opposite)
Phase 4: from the baseline, 1 or 2 dribble reverse layup. (finish w/ the baseline/dribbling hand - this allows you to see the court and protect ball better)
Phase 5: from the baseline, 1 or 2 dribble bunny hop finish off glass. (dribble/finish w/ baseline hand)
Phase 5: from wing, 1 or 2 dribbles to elbow, reverse pivot, finish on same side as started (finger roll or traditional layup depending on how close)
Phase 6: from wing, 1 dribble to elbow, dribble between legs and finish on same side as started
Phase 7: from wing, 1 dribble to elbow, dribble behind back and finish on same side as started.
As long as you go back quickly after the layup you can get a nice sweat in 5 minutes or a little more. I'm all about working hand-eye coordination while exercising. mind and body.
