Do your core exercises first. THAT gets the blood moving and warms you up, and then that blast of cold air isn't quite so painful. My core exercise routine is 20 bicycles, 10 crunches, 10 supermans, 10 legups (which I don't like and often skip), and 10 turkish standups on each side. You can skip everything but the turkish standups. Those things will heat you up!
(A turkish standup, it turns out, is you lie on your back, stick one arm in the air, and stand up. And lie down. And stand up. All with one arm sticking up in the air. Ten times. Then put that arm down and stick up the other.)
