At this stage of my life, I practice most days, but I rarely play for more than 30-40 min. and I only do that once a day. I'll start with a flow study, lip slurs and maybe long tones, but after 15 min., I'm usually playing Bordogni. I'll do 1 or 2 of them and I'll play part of it down an octave. I use the Wes Jacobs Bordogni, Complete Vocalises book. Then, I'll play some other etudes. That's the basis for what I do. I might work on some lit. after that, or I'll play a trad. jazz tune and improvise solos. That's about it.

Roylance's "Thunderdome" routine on C (not published)

Chris Olka's drills on C (youtube)

Vining "Daily Routines" 2nd edition (much more challenging than the first edition) mostly on F, sometimes on C

Davis "20 Minute Warm Up" on euphonium

Plus all the books in this poll and more.

So much more time to practice in the summer, I am loving mixing it all up at the moment.

Good list so far. A couple of additions I personally use:

Schlossberg for Trombone or Trumpet (transcribed into whatever key tuba is in my lap)

Caruso Exercises

Alex mentioned it, but the Vining Daily Routine exercises are excellent.

I'm using Stefan Heimann school, there is Everything for high register, low, stacattos and slurs. In Poland also is really popular Bordogni which one we are playing one octave lower or higher(in duo with other player if that's possible)

Warm up I'm playing from Oysyein Baadsvik Daily Routine book and other such I remember from masterclasses with some teachers

If You want guys I can scan Stefan Neumann school and send You this just let me know on PM (I can send this because I was taking with Stefan :)

The Brass Gym, by Sam Pilafian & Patrick Sheridan {expensive}
Lip Flexibilities For All Brass Instruments by Bai Lin {inexpensive}

I use one or the other of these two books every day.

I think it's also a good idea to use books like these as starting points to develop your own exercises.
