Curious thing... the ref dictating the warm-up
I have my own routine and find myself not really wishing to follow someone else's

The only muscle groups i get problems with are below the knee. Calf strains and shin splintsAmazingly, I had a bitter row with our fitness guru over this. His viewpoint was, as AR, you warm up with and instructed by the referee, my view was no, you warm up so that YOU are ready for the task in hand.
Try turning up and the ref is out placing cones and about to subject you to a regimental sheet warm up.
The warm up, granted we put on the impression we are a team, is intended to get you ready, mentally and physically for the game
Sadly, as alluded to in other posts, you need to be seen to follow suit at the higher levels

So I find myself having to do my own routine, once I've finished playing 'Simon says'

I am my own fitness guru.
The impression of being a team can be made purely by all warming up at the same time in the same area. It doesn't mean you all have to do the same thing. At 52, my achilles, hamstrings and calves have good days and bad days. Only I know how they work. I'd be telling your "fitness guru" to ram it.
I just don't want to humiliate the younger ref when I show him a clean pair of heels
Man of many talents.... Doctor now a fitness Guru, whatever next is on the list??I am my own fitness guru.

Its like a team, they do what they do together but then break for, heading for defender or sharp sprints for striker or whatever.
The warm up should be, a warm up for you. Whatever that means
In the games I’ve done as AR, the ref tends to get us to do some runs and then we all choose stretches to do from touch to the edge of the box. Good for everyone to get their own streches is whilst still being a teamAmazingly, I had a bitter row with our fitness guru over this.
