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.
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent; hold a 5-pound dumbbell in each hand, palms facing front of thighs (A). With head up and shoulders back, inhale and push hips back (keep weight on heels), lowering torso as you slide weights down thighs (B). Slowly raise to starting position (A).
