juggling for 20 mins? That will tire you out before you even start.

Stretch, juggle a little bit, do some short combos or easy stuff. Then start.

not necessarily continuously
but that's what I do so...  :pimp:
after that juggle, I wait for like 10 min while walking a bit in circles
then I'm ready
It's too hard for me to do combos if I don't get my touch.

I have a weird warm up but helps a lot.

I stretch for about 4-5 min
juggle for 1-3
do some weird juggling 50 juggles
then basic, then i start
basically 20-30 min warm up :0

helps A LOT though

that's to keep my legs going
I mean I could walk in straight lines if I wanted to 
just to warm my legs up

I dont think it is neccesary to walk for 10 mins, just juggle do some htws, atws, heel juggles and crosses for a couple of mins thats what i do.

try running on the spot for like 30 seconds. i will accomplish the same thing, but you won't have wasted 9 minutes and 30 seconds of your life each time you practice.
