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.
If you can't find a suitable increment, that is, the dumbbell or barbell or plate of the next weight is too heavy, you could either use this heavier weight and drop the repetitions to 8 or 9; or stay with the same weight and increase the number of repetitions in each set from 10 to 12 or even 15.
