Your heart rate will be elevated by about 20bpm or more.

You will feel warmer.

You will have mobilised your joints and feel limber.

With weightlifting, warm up sets are usually sufficient after some mobility: 8-10x Reps at 50%, 70% and 90% of your training weight. Don't neglect to warm-up if you are attempting a 1RM, people often do.
