At the back of the Ernest Williams complete method he has about 45 minutes worth of work designed for pros to maintain ALL areas of their playing.

They aren't as difficult as you may think and they do cover just about everything you may need to keep things up and running. I switch back and forth between my Bb and C, and sometimes I'll do the entire 45 minutes on the cornet.

I'm not a pro player, but I started this recently because I only have a few hours a day to practice. This way I can do the required (45 minutes), Rest, then focus on current music demands for an hour.

Of course, anyone can do the same by earmarking Arban's. But I'm the kind of person that likes to have everything packaged-up. "Start here - end here - now put it away". So maybe copies out of the Arban would work too.
