I have them all over my legs. Especially on my knees from woman pressups and in other places on my legs too.
I was wondering if anyone knew a quicker way of getting rid of them?

    Why don't you use a cushion in the first place? My knees hurt way to much on the bare floor. And I don't get bruises^^

    Eek! That sounds painful!

    I've always heard rubbing a fine tooth brush over bruises loosens the blood vessels. I've never tried it though - I usually just let my bruises fade on their own. Battle scars!

    Schaapj2 - I saw one of your goals is to get the Dr. Quinn series - I love it!! I bought it a while ago (buy it on Amazon, I got it for like half the price of the stores), and I'm just starting season 6! Glad there's another DQ lover out there! haha

    Anybody else noticing they have bruises on their legs after a hard run?

    I do all the time. Specially when I'm coming back into running after not doing it for a while.

    I am perhaps a little twisted, but I wear mine from working out like a badge of honor... especially the ones I got from my ju jitsu class that I took with my husband.

    *these I got from effectively blocking punches
    *this I got from the girl who didn't know how to throw me properly
    *this is rug burn from my gi

    I also freak people out with my toes and blisters from running.
    *Hey, check this out!

    I should have totally been a boy!

    Sorry, I didn't answer your question, but it looked like people already had it covered.

    I totally agree with you, not the twisted part but the battle scar/ badge of armor part. I love showing off my bruises. I box and my wife does Krav Maga so bruises can either be a badge of honor or a badge of shame :)

    Just an aside - a physical trainer once told me that it works your muscles better to hold the traditional (or "man's") push-up position and do nothing else, or to do half-pushups, than to do the "girls'-style" pushups. Might want to consider that -- plus fewer bruises!! :laugh:
