    I generally wait until I've done a cool down, so if I hop right off the elliptical on a machine day, I wait until after I've stretched and walked around for a few minutes.

    My heart rate drops back to pre exercise very quickly and that's when I check my total calories.

    I would take it when your heart rate returns to normal activity rate. You are still burning calories after you workout as long as your heart rate stays up.
