    Here is what I do:

    Monday 15 min warmup then 45 mins of weight training on my legs and shoulder muscle groups
    Tuesday 1 hour cardio
    Wednesday 15 min war up the 60 mins of back and bicep work
    thursday 1 hour cardio
    friday 15 min warm up 60 mins of chest and tricep work
    Saturday 1 hour cardio
    sunday rest

    Everyday, but sunday, I do 150 situps (4) 60 second planks and side planks and finish with oblique work. I use the ab work to cool down and catch my breath at the end of my work outs.

    All that was set up by a personal trainer that told me never to mix weight training and cardio training on the same day, unless you are doing circuit training.

    I do 30 min. of cardio and an hour of weights daily.

    10 min. of weights isn't doing much for you.

    The ACSM guidelines for physical activity for adults under 65 recommend moderate-intensity aerobic exercise 30 minutes a day five days a week or vigorous aerobic exercise 20 minutes a day three days a week. Adults should also perform eight to 10 strength-training exercises with eight to 12 repetitions of each twice per week, and should also consider incorporating balance exercises. For your lifting exercise don't do isolated exercises but do more compound exercises that target more then one muscle group. Don't do long cardio sessions. The right way to do cardio effectively is with short, high-intensity intervals. Interval cardio triggers your anaerobic metabolism, which will skyrocket your heart rate and melt the fat.
