Abdominal Exercise Routine after a Hysterectomy
This is a progressive deep abdominal core exercise routine.
To ensure your safety this exercise routine does not include any intense core abdominal exercises e.g. abdominal curls. This is because intense abdominal exercises increase pressure downwards on the lower abdomen and pelvic floor during hysterectomy recovery.
Hysterectomy Exercises Starting Position
* Lie down comfortably on a firm mattress or on the ground, pillow under your head
* Slide one leg at a time to knees bent and feet flat position
* Commence 3 pelvic tilts
* Find midway position between lower back flat and arched (the position for your deep abdominal core muscles to work)
* Start breathing in and out – as you breathe out gently draw in the lower tummy
* Commence with 3 gentle abdominal exercises by visualising drawing the pelvic bones towards the midline
Lower Belly Exercise Variations for Recovery after Hysterectomy
* Leg extend above ground (or modify by sliding foot long the ground wearing a sock)
* Pelvic tilt x 3
* Single knee lift
* Pelvic tilt x 3
* Single knee lift, leg rotating out to the side (or modify with bent knee fallout core abdominal exercise)
* Pelvic tilt x 3

* Diet is essential for losing weight from your whole body to ensure that you lose belly fat.
* Choose low impact exercises after hysterectomy surgery to assist with yur weight management including stationary bike and walking.
