Exactly, if Mrs. Flyer23 can lift just fine and have no problems, then by all means, sit there and you have no worries.
Did hear of a woman request the F/A to lift her bag into an overhead bin on some flight. F/A assisted her in finding a space, and did help her after the woman lifted her bag 50% of the way.
When the F/A went to do the exit row briefing, she saw this same woman sitting at the seats. Well, that brought up a problem...if the woman could not lift her own bag, she could not lift the door if needed, so the woman was moved.
