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.
You'll want 8-10's. Point to note - I've got small hands, but I manage to position two dumbells in a way that allows me to lift them in one hand, so I can use a 3 and an 8 for an 11-pound weight. I am 5'3 and 120, not a bit of bulk, and I worked up to using of 8-20 pound weights for arms and legs. I agree with the above - combine those 3, 5 and 8 pounders to make 11, 13 or 16 pounds as you need a challenge.
