LEG BRUISING

by OFELIAP, Dec 15, 2007 11:58PM
I JUST STARTED TO WORK OUT, I'M 33 AND A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO I EXERCISED BY CLIMBING STAIRS AND WALKED FOR ABOUT 2 MILES. AS A RESULT MY LEGS WERE SORE AS USUAL BUT I DEVELOPED EXTERNAL BRUISING ON MY LEGS WHERE I'M SORE. IS THAT NORMAL. COULD IT BE DUE TO ME BEING OVERWEIGHT OR THAT MY BLOOD CIRCULATION IS BAD? I'M 5'4 AND ABOUT 180 LBS

External bruising from that sort of a work out doesn't sound normal. Do you have the bruising on both legs in the same place? Where on your legs is it. Could you have done anything else that caused the burising (e.g. weight lifiting)?

I get finger point like bruises from exercise. On my calves. It will go away if you regularly exercise. If you have pulled  a muscle you might get more bruising.
