If it is a deep bruise (muscle or bone) you need to give it a rest and allow it to heal. If it is a superficial bruise of the skin and underlying tissues then you can still workout. Keep an eye on the size and color of the bruise. If it changes to a darker color, gets larger or starts to become more sensitive, then you need to rest , ice and see a Dr.

Yes. Actually, workout will help the bruise heal faster because of the increased blood flow

Depends on the nature of your bruise, which your doctor and trainer, can certainly help you decide, and may even allow you to carry on with your workout, maybe, with (or without) some restrictions. Also, it may happen, that they may not allow you for sometime, to do any workout, at all.

of course you can! even just after an operation they make you get up these days let alone with a bruise.

duh!!! a bruise never hurt anybody. i mean, unless it hurts, and your too much of a sissy to, then stay home and nurse your leg. but if your a real athlete, or even really dedicated at working out, then you can definitely stand the pain.(if there is any, though)i mean, bruises usually arent painful unless you press on them, and so im gonna tell you what my mom tells me, its a simple answer though: dont press on it!!!!

Yep, course you can, i do it all the time. if you come back after exercises, and its pain full chuck an ice pack on it and no worries, if its bruised your muscle though, chuck a heat pack on it. sweet as mate.

If what you are doing hurts... then no.. don't do it. A bruise needs to heal.
