Morphology
warm-up + routine
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'warm-up' (preparatory light exercise) with 'routine' (a series or habitual set of actions), yielding 'a series of preparatory exercises.' This compositional compound follows common English patterns and cross-linguistically familiar logic, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Warm-up routine comes from the simple idea of warm-up, making muscles warmer, and routine, a set of repeated actions. Think of light exercises that slowly wake your muscles and get them ready, and that's why a warm-up routine means 'a series of light exercises before harder activity' to 'prepare' the body and 'reduce the risk of injury'.
