If you have never swung a scythe, it would be hard to imagine how it could be done so effortlessly. Stand straight, don't stoop, let your body pivot and boy it tires me to even tell you this! She is not cutting weeds with variable toughness, she is not standing on an unlevel piece of ground, all of which stresses one terribly. Watch her bearing, steadyness of cadence....just the kind of thing soldiers have to do marching long distances. I used a cutter like that to trim ditch weeds before we ever heard of weed whackers. Weed whackers are slow, heavy and always keeping you off balance. Difficulties mount when cutting giant ragweed, volunteer trees and bull thistles. That blade has to be razor sharp, hence the whetstone in her back pocket for if she snagged a fence wire, sapling or rock, the blade must sharpened right away and a drink of water would be good too. I have one of those cutters, over 100 years old and it winded me within minutes..I just couldn't get the balance any more at near 80years of age. IaLeo
