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.
Letâs say youâre performing seated shoulder presses 3 times a week. You use 15 lb. dumbbells and do 4 sets of 12 reps each on each day. You can probably maintain the muscle mass you have now by only doing shoulder presses once a week, instead of 3 times. (!!!) However, you need to continue to do appropriate volume (4 sets of 12, maybe a little more) with the same intensity (15 lb. dumbbells).
