Excercise is not the most important factor of health and longevity. Nutrition is, though. Anyway, here are the healthiest forms of exercise.
The healthiest forms of exercise are sex and walking.
Sex, is healthier than walking because it often involves including a partner or other people, and thus also provides the social connections and companionship that most, if not all, humans seek at some points in their lifetimes. It also increases the work of the cardiovascular system and tones the muscles of a body of a animal.
Walking is the second most health form of exercise. Walking is so healthy because this is one thing that our bodies have evolved to do. That is the reason that our legs evolved and in part a reason why we humans are land animals.
Beyond that there are other forms of exercise that can be fun, but are definitely more injurious: bicycling, swimming, and playing other sports.
Weight lifting can be nice too, but more so for aesthetic reasons and specific performance reasons. Weight lifting is not the best form of excercise in general as it increase tension of the muscles and thus adds strain and stress on a person's body.
If you are interested in weight lifting to enhance your physique, then start with the lightest weights possible, or the lightest weights that are comfortable first and take your time and work yourself upwards towards your goals. this will prevent injury and optimize your performance and outcome. There is no rush. Also, superiorize your technique.
Other forms of excercise that I enjoy are yoga, stretching, and dancing.
