Whenever physical fitness and exercise comes up, I hear the phrase, “no pain, no gain,” and I get triggred and angry. I heard that kind of talk in the past, and exercise has been a form of torture and punishment, and it makes me NOT want to exercise.

That phrase is an oversimplification of exercise. If you are in pain from exercise, you are doing something wrong. It’s not meant to be painful, but healthful.
