This whole thread is sort of getting - well -
Start your minute the second (moment - instant- as soon as possible) after you stop. If wearing a HRM, simply wait 60 seconds. If not, you will have to figure out for yourself. I count from 55-64 seconds and multiply by 6, thinking I will have a pretty good average for what 60 seconds would be. But, this is non-scientific to say the least.
Have fun!
