Do This Bodyweight Routine When You're Hurt
Jul 07, 2025
We all get injured at some point—and if you're an athlete or martial artist, your chances are even higher.
The common response is to stop moving entirely. But inactivity often leads to compensations, as your body adapts to protect the injured area. Over time, this creates movement deficiencies and limited range of motion, which further restrict your ability to move freely.
Repeat this cycle enough times, and your entire system becomes a web of compensations—holding you back from optimal health, performance, and longevity.
That’s why the best thing you can do after an injury is simple: keep moving—but do it intelligently.
You need movement that doesn’t cause pain, but instead tells your nervous system it’s safe to restore what’s been lost. Movement that gently rebuilds strength, mobility, and coordination without pushing into further damage.
That’s exactly why Mark developed his bodyweight injury recovery protocol.
As a lifelong athlete, martial artist, and circus performer, Mark has experienced more than his share of injuries—including a catastrophic knee injury—and this is the exact method he uses to bounce back.
