I have a question about my strength training regime

I'm new to the site, but not new to strength training. I'm no expert
though. I don't workout like most people. I workout three times a week
for about an hour. Most people, for example, will start the bench press
do a set then rest do another set then rest and do another set and be
finished with the bench press. I hate the stopping and resting, so what
I do is I immediately do a different exercise after I finished a set. I
have found exercise that exercise different muscles to do after each
other. I start with skull crushers, then overhand curls, then barbell
rows so on and so on with little rest except to write down how many reps
I did and set up for the next exercise.
HERE'S MY QUESTION. The NIH recently said that a person should
exercise vigorously 75 minutes a week or 150 minutes moderately a week.
I watch my heart rate closely while exercising. For my age and weight
I'm staying in the vigorous zone for the entire workout. What I'm not
sure about is should I be counting the entire time of the workout or
just the time I'm actually exercising. I spend 60 minutes working out,
but probably only 20 or 30 minutes actually lifting a weight.
