<70g zealios would probably be okay, but I wouldn't recommend using heavy switches as a "workout" for your fingers/wrists, you'd be much better off doing actual workouts for that. Heavier switches won't really help with wrist pain, and switches that are too heavy can make it worse.
An ergo keyboard would be a good thing to look into, though the most important thing is wrist position. You need to make sure the tops of your hands are parallel to your arms. If you're having trouble with hovering your arms over your desk like that you could try stacking a couple of fat wrist rests on top of each other. OR you can (sort of) achieve the same result by putting your elbows below the edge of your desk in order to have your whole arm at an angle.
As far as actual ergo boards go, they tend to be way more expensive but tbh if you're having serious wrist pain I'd look into them. Getting treated for carpal tunnel is way more expensive than the extra $100-200. The Kinesis Advantage is probably the best thing in terms of actually making you adopt an ergonomic typing stance. Barring that (they are expensive), the next best thing would be an ergo board with tenting (horizontal tilt) such as the Ergodox EZ. Though if you have small hands you might not like the thumb cluster of the ergodox much. Technically you can tent any split keyboard by just stacking shit under the inside edges.
OK, on to numpads. A lot of people will tell you how un-ergonomic a fullsize board is. This has more to do with getting an RSI in your shoulder than your wrists, but it would still be recommended to get a TKL with a separate numpad and putting the pad to the left of your keyboard. If you want something programmable, the ducky pocket would be good, but there are several <$20 mechanical numpads on Amazon that work just fine if you just want to use it for number entry. If you really don't like the sound of that you might want to look into the Cooler Master Masterkeys M, which IMO is a severely underrated layout.
Last thing I'll mention: Mice. You didn't say anything about them but IME changing my mouse out for something more ergonomic made the biggest difference in reducing my own wrist pain. Personally I now use the Logitech MX Vertical, which pretty much forces you to put your wrist straight and makes you hold it at a more natural angle to put less stress on your wrist. Then there's trackballs. If you go that route I'd recommend using something like the Kensington Expert where you move the ball with your hand rather than your thumb. I used a Logitech trackball for a little while but using my thumb for mouse movement actually agitated my wrist more than just using a normal mouse. And if you don't want to buy a new mouse, consider switching to using a "claw grip" since that should tend to put your wrist at a straighter angle.

That's what the wrist wrests are for! Like this
So far it's been great! I think I got a great deal on it ($70 on Amazon).
My first observation is that I need a wrist rest otherwise it hurts my wrists after a few minutes from the angle I have to raise them. I bought this one today but for now, I'm using a folded hand towel.
Another thing I have to get used to is how I type. I guess I have developed a rabbit of hitting keys fast/hard and it's very noticeable (and loud) on this keyboard. However, over the course of the day, I have improved on that a lot.
So far I love it! It makes my wrists hurt but that's just until I get my wrist rest.
Overall I'm very happy with it.
