Drawing Warm Up Exercises

I wouldn't necessarily say that doing these warm up exercises are a challenge as such, but I am wanting to find out if it does actually make a difference when I come to sit down to drawing at some point afterwards throughout the day.

I will do this every morning when I wake up (except for day one, where I will complete it now as I am wanting to get started with it). I will set my times for 15 minutes and just sit and basically doodle and scribble until the time is up, ensuring I use my hand in a variety of ways and positions.

Day One
Here are my drawing exercise sheets of paper from the first day:

When I started doing it, I thought I had to rush to get it done, so I started by scribbling really fast but then when I looked at the remaining time and saw there had only been a minute gone and another 14 to go, I soon realised I could take a bit more time with what I was doing. The first few minutes felt a little pointless if I'm honest as I was literally just sat scribbling, but once I started to use my hand in different positions and ways it started to feel a little more beneficial. Also, by the end of the 15 minutes of constant none stop scribbling I felt my arm starting to get a little achey, but I'm guessing that can only be a good thing as it means I got the muscles working properly.

Day Two
Day two.

I didn't find todays exercise to be beneficial really as I found myself thinking about what I was doing a lot more rather than just doing it. I need to get myself to just go for it and not think about the marks that I'm making on the page - I will attempt this in tomorrows exercise. Also, I got an achy arm again after the first 10 minutes.
