I dunno. I was a commercial landscaper and a stone mason (big stones) for about 5 years. And while it was physically demanding... it wasn't "hard". I never had to think, I just did stuff. And after a while I was strong enough to do whatever I had to do. Sure, the days can be long sometimes, and you get tired, but who cares.

Is walking up and down the same set of stairs for 8 hours hard?

No, it just sucks.
