When do I stop counting calories?

Do I stop my HRM right after my workout or so I include stretch/cool down? Do I could all the way until my HR returns to normal? Thanks!

    When your actual workout is over.

    There is not a correlation between heart rate (even though many HRMs mistakenly think there is) and calories expended, I stop mine as soon as the run or the ride is finished.
