Nitric Rush The best exercise is called the Side Lunge and it can be done with a barbell OR dumbbells. But I'm not going to have you do the NORMAL side lunge...that exercise forces you to use lighter weights so you don't strain your knees. This version allows for more resistance and, therefore, more potential muscle growth and hip width.And you also almost certainly don't really want to take note of this but you ought to also aim to take strolls even during the course of an attack of hemorrhoids. Even if complete rest might appear to be the smartest thing to do. It usually isn't. Getting that blood moving will enable you to heal faster.
