Theres a difference between cardio before a workout, and warming up before a workout. You should really alternate days if you're doing both IE Lift Monday, jump rope Tuesday, etc.
As far as warming up, anything brisk that gets your blood pumping, and makes you sweat a little as well as breathe a little harder than normal. 5-10 minutes should suffice, however you may need longer depending on your needs or if its really cold. Also, you should stretch after your warm up so your muscles can get the full range of motion after they've had some blood running through them
