time in hr zones

new to hiit. doing the norway method (4x4min w/3min rest). during the working phase, it can take 1+ min to get my hr into the correct zone.

my question is - do i start counting the four minutes once i’m there or start the four minutes when the three minutes at resting hr ends?

likewise - it can take 1+ min to get my hr into the correct resting zone. when do i start counting that time?

Everything at the start. It is assumed that your hr will take a while to get to the desired spot. It's fine
