The Importance of Sunshine and Vitamin D for Health by MercolaPDF - May 2022
Consider helping SUN BURN not with so much sunscreen but improving diet and cutting seed oils and adding ascorbic acid or whole food vitamin C, vitamin D (even topically), calcium and vitamin F to move the calcium into the cells. (Do it within an hour of exposure.)
>>Sunburn risk is reduced by increasing vitamin D3 and NAD+ levels while reducing linoleic oils found in seed oils.

Nailing the Sweet Spots for Exercise Volume with Dr. James O'Keefe on Mercola - Nov 2023 Optimal seems to be 20-40 minutes of strength training 2 to 3 times per week (up to 60 minutes weekly) plus aerobic activity of 60 minutes or more per day. Too much vigorous exercise backfires. You cannot do too much moderate exercise. Overdoing strength training is worse than doing nothing at all. Hard exercise in your 40s and 50s can increase injury and heart risk. Every 1000 steps daily decreases mortality by 10-15% up to 6000 steps. Daily strength training up to one hour adds another 19% (benefits are nullified after that).
