    from a professional point of view

    mental preparation
    do some running drills, starting slowly, build speed up.
    then some functional stretching

    after that some footwork and badminton at slow pace

    that all can take more than 1hour.

    in recreational envirenments it would be good do to at least the middle. be careful with the stretching. if you do it wrong or are not used to it you can seriously hurt yourself
