I am hoping that this can change in the New Year and that I can get back into the shape I was in a coupe of years ago
Do any of you guys have any sort of recommendations in terms of a good program? I am not looking for anything too intense, but I would like to get a regular mixture of weight training and cardio…I am about 6’4, 225 and am looking to be at the gym 3-4 times a week

Sounds like you are in the same workout regiment as me so I'll tell you what I do
3-4 times per week
start off with 30 minutes on elipticle, then jump on the bike for another 25 minutes
I usually only work out a major muscle group once per week
day 1 Chest and Triceps 4 sets of 8, 3 different excercises for each muscle group increasing weight every 2-3 weeks as needed
day 2 Back and Biceps
day 3 Shoulders and Legs
If I go a forth day I start back at day 1
before I Stretch at the end of each workout I usually try to do some ab and core excercises. Nothing as extensive as the above workouts because i'm doing it every day or every second day.
It keeps me in shape and keeps the wife on my back about staying active.
