My 14 min workout is a set of 10 pushups followed by a set 10 squats at the top of every minute during the 14 min.
It takes me 1/2 a min. to complete the exercise set.
Thus, in reality I'm working out seven minutes, 7 min. of exercise and 7 min. of rest.
Does this count as my daily M-F strenght workout or should I extend it to 28 min.?
Is my 14 minutes 14 minutes?

Johnny,
I wouldn't make the working significantly longer than 14 minutes. Every minute you add reduces the chance that you'll stick with it long term. If you want to add rigor, then reduce the rest periods. But if you feel like you're getting sufficient work out as is, then leave it. There's no reason to fix something that ain't broke just to hit some magic number. And you can always revisit the issue later once you've graduated to the next level of fitness.
