I saw on this site that you shouldnt do cardio the same day you weight train, I'd do 20 minutes of cardio on a seperate day on its own.

I don't mind the idea of doing cardio the same day as weight training, but I wouldn't do it if you're looking to gain muscle. I usually do my cardio after my weight training, not before. I just do 5 min before to get the blood circulating.

Yeh I have changed to do cardio at the end of the workout instead now. And do weight training before

I wouldn't be so fast to switch out the 10 minute cardio at the beginning. It's generally a good idea to do some time of light cardio before you lift in order to get the blood flowing and loosen up your muscles. It shouldn't be horribly intense though.
