I hate warming up! Now what?

Publicly answering a great question from a member of the Living Voice Library! Covering such topics as:
Do we need warmups? (maybe!)
What are we doing when we warm up? (good body stuff!)
What could happen if you don’t warm up? (maybe nothing, maybe singing is harder, maybe your muscles will be sad)
What counts as a warm up? (hint: it doesn’t have to be “exercises”!)
How to reduce or remove the barriers to warming up, and make it more enjoyable? (see video for suggestions)
And finally, some questions you can ask yourself to help you get over the hump with your warmups.
Technical note: there are a few seconds of temporary audio distortion in this video; not sure what was going on with my mic, but it passes.
