Warmed-up describes a body that is ready: you have done your gentle exercises — jogging, stretching, swinging your arms — so your muscles are loose and safe to work hard. It is used with 'be' or 'get': 'Are you warmed up?', 'I'm not properly warmed up yet', 'Give me five minutes to get warmed up.' Written before a noun it takes the hyphen ('warmed-up muscles'), but most of the time it comes after the verb and needs no hyphen at all.
