You can do both! But if you supplement vitamin D you wouldn't need to worry about making it out for your walk every day. IANA nutritionist, but I also believe GP's prescribed dose would be unfeasible to get reliably from the sun, especially at northern latitudes.

I can't personally vouch for its accuracy though.
