YouTube video by Dr. Tabatha Barber (uploaded June 26, 2023) addressing why many women perceive exercise as "not for them." The speaker highlights stigma around exercise—especially for women who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s—framing exercise as painful, appearance-focused, competitive, and linked to comparison and misery rather than enjoyment or wellbeing.

I just heard the word exercise come out of your mouth, and I even had a moment where it felt negative. I think there's so much stigma around exercise, especially for women who grew up in the 80s and 90s, and they really were like, no pain, no gain. You gotta struggle. You gotta do all this miserable stuff, and it's all about how you look and keeping up with another woman and being in comparison mode.
