False. It is not necessarily true that if you do not experience pain from a workout, you are wasting your time. While some level of discomfort or muscle soreness may indicate that you are challenging your body and working towards your fitness goals, pain is not the only indication of a successful workout. Overexerting yourself and causing excessive pain or injury can actually set you back in your fitness journey. It is important to listen to your body and find a balance between pushing yourself and avoiding injury.
