Whats your warm up routine/ technique questions

Author: C.Elizabeth07

Just curious what everyone does on an average day to warm up. What do you include in your routine? Why? How much time do you spend warming up? In terms of routine daily technique what do you do? How much time do you devote to it?
I currently spend maybe 1 1/2 - 2 hours on technique and long tones alone each day but I'm trying to refine my routine, make sure its as efficient and effective as possible.
I work out of the Klose book everyday, starting at the "scale page" (126?) and going through all those exercises and arpeggios. I do long tones as well and record them and use the visualizer on the recording program to gauge how well paced and steady my crescendo diminuendo is. I also (as it is the bane of my existence) do a few articulations routines and work out of the Kell Staccato studies each day (sometimes I just do the routines and pass on the etude if I'm crunched for time and have a lot to get to).

Just wondering what other people do, what works for you guys, if there are any books or approaches you would recommend. I currently have 2 weeks off of school so I have more time to practice and I'm interested in experimenting and maybe changing up some stuff I've been doing.

Thoughts?
