Working in the Workouts: Got sixteen minutes to spare?

Each week, Debbie will share her goals, challenges, successes and tips on how to fit in fitness when caring for a rambunctious toddler.Last week, I wrote about Jorge Cruise's Eight Minutes in the Morning, and how I added the strength training piece of his program as the first "installment" of my attempt to fit in fitness, toddler and all. And I am feeling pretty good about it. The TV-as-babysitter guilt has somewhat subsided, and I am willing to make my next move.
Cruise's book is set up to target two muscle groups each day, six days a week. The first three days are upper body (chest and back, shoulders and abs, biceps and triceps), the last three days lower body (quads and hamstrings, calves and butt, inner and outer thighs). What I plan on doing (and have successfully done in the pre-baby past) is doubling up, and doing four muscle groups a day, so that each group gets worked twice a week, and I do an upper body group and lower body group each day.
The results I am hoping for are faster toning, more fat burning and a heightened energy level.
So again, I ask you, how much will Owen's IQ drop if he watches an extra sixteen minutes of television a day?
