I'd like to know what Cathe says about this one!!!
When I do cardio, like a walk, I count the full out breathin' hard part. And as for tapes, I count the time without the warm up and cool down....like BodyMax is 44 minutes of full-out cardio, minus the warm up, cool down, and the upper body strengthening. Imax I count as 38 minutes of cardio.

If I work out for 60 minutes, I log it as 60 minutes. I don't suppose it matters whether you count your WHOLE workout incl WU and CD or just your time in the zone, as long as you are consistent. I bet when magazines etc. use the term "60 minutes" my guess is that they mean total, just because that is how most readers would understand it.
You are supposed to be IN your THR range by the end of a cooldown. I find that I am in my THR range from about the middle of the WU to about the middle of the CD, so if you want to be really technical, you could count HALF the warmup and cooldown time but not the other half! LOL!! Or get a heart rate monitor and start timing when you reach your range, WHEREVER you are in the WU or workout, and quit timing when you fall out of it, again WHEREVER you are, in the cooldown or workout.
Can I BE any more nitpicky????
