The data are clear: for brain & body health we should all get ~150-180min of zone 2 (mellow-ish) cardio, & 5-10 sets of resistance exercise per muscle group, per week. Intensity level of sets adjusts that +/- 4 sets. Sleep, nutrition & hormone status impact recovery. #basics
Details of how to build each of the 4 types of endurance are here (time stamped), with references, etc.

And for science-supported protocols for the sets and reps and recovery factors on resistance exercise, etc. That’s all here:

There is a very fast way to shift your sleep-wake schedule, whether for travel, becoming an early riser (or late riser) or accommodating shift work.
It starts with timing your light exposure correctly and knowing your temperature minimum — which is a time not a temperature, so you don’t need any technology to do this. Let me explain:
Your temperature minimum is your lowest body temperature in each 24-hour cycle. You don’t need to measure your body temperature to know it, as it occurs approximately two hours before your usual wake-up time.

Science-based tools to reduce stress:

1) In Real Time
Physiological Sigh: double-inhale (nasal), then extended exhale to lungs empty (mouth); 1-3X.

2) Raise Stress Threshold
Uncomfortable (but safe) cold exposure.
~12 min per week; 1-5min per session.
Details and references in episodes on Master Stress & Cold Exposure at hubermanlab.com all episodes are time stamped, references in captions, and links provided in newsletters which are also zero cost at Hubermanlab.com.
The term physiological sigh was coined by scientists in the 1930s; not by me. It’s a naturally occurring pattern of breathing that offsets CO2. It has some overlap with traditional breathing techniques but is distinct. Not meant to replace other language.
