It has been my experience at the age of 52, and even having never quit playing, that long tones are not the best warm-up. Warm-down perhaps, but not up.
Have you tried the Bell Warm-Ups from Charles Colin (pub.)? The Remington warm-ups are also terrific.
I'm glad you're having fun. That's what it's all about!!!
