Weâre going to be the ones taking care of you. So, I still do Pap smears after hysterectomy. ACOGâs recommendation is that if youâve had an abnormal Pap smear, you should have a Pap smear at least every other year for 20 years, following an abnormal Pap smear or after your hysterectomy.
Begin with 10 to 20 pound dumbbells and work your way up to the heavier weights to avoid injury to your wrists, arms and shoulders. Do three to six sets of about three to six repetitions. Due to the high intensity of these exercises, give yourself two to three minutes of rest between each set.
The simplest is to hold weights. If you donât have access to dumbbells, hold a household object in each hand as you do squats and lunges, slow down the speed of your repetitions or superset two exercises that work similar muscles. For example, do a set of lunges directly after a set of squats. The extent to which a body-weight exercise will overload your muscles depends on how much you weigh and how strong you are. For example, when I do dumbbell bench presses, I use two 25-pound weights for three sets of 15 reps.
