She could do it. No problem. A little working out, and anyone could.

100 pounds? no problem whatsoever for most physicaly fit men. (woman could also do this with some training)

I used to work out fanatically...if I over did it, I'd get sick...very run down and flu symptoms....I lifted every day with a different muscle group and ran for at least an hour...once a week I would beat the crap out of a different muscle group....I played the edge and sometimes i got burned...I was in great shape, but there was a limit....I don't think you can overcome a certain individual barrier without drugs...i went from 220 lbs and 30% fat to 205 and 10% fat...but any more than that would have been self abuse
