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 weight of the dumbbell varies according to the exercise. If you're performing shoulder presses, begin with 2 to 5 pound weights. If you're doing squats, begin with no weights, then increase the weight up to 45 pounds, depending on your fitness level. Since these are higher intensity exercises, get adequate rest between sets, ideally about one to two minutes to let your muscles recover.
