Mark Harmon Calls New Workout Routine ‘Twice as Hard’ as Running

By Movieguide® Contributor

NCIS star Mark Harmon has always loved staying active, but a shoulder injury forced him to try out a different fitness routine.

“[I had a] shoulder injury [that drew me to Pilates],” he explained. “The physical therapist I went to was all about that.” 

Harmon continued, “I was a big runner after college – I used to do 60 to 70-mile weeks every week. I wish I had some of that back now. [Pilates] is all about controlling the machine, and that’s twice as hard.”

Harmon has plenty of time to practice Pilates now that he no longer stars as Gibbs on NCIS.

However, he is still listed as a producer on the hit show, and it’s often speculated that he will return to the part. Perhaps his renewed focus on his health could indicate he plans to return?

Movieguide® previously reported:

NCIS fans were sad to hear Mark Harmon would be leaving the crime show after 19 seasons, but showrunner Steven D. Binder has given fans hope for Harmon’s return. 

While appearing at PaleyFest, Binder said, “Never count Leroy Jethro Gibbs [Harmon’s character] out. What the future will hold I can’t say, but I wouldn’t count anybody out, dead or alive, on the show.”

Sean Murray, who stars on NCIS as Special Agent Timothy McGee, has also mentioned the possibility of Harmon returning to the show. 

“He does pop in,” Murray said, referring to Harmon’s role as an executive producer on the show. “I saw him two weeks ago actually. So, he’s around. It’s not like he’s packed up and left town or anything. I’m not saying this just to say it for a tease and all that, I really, truly believe that the Gibbs could pop up somewhere. I really believe that there’s a possibility of that happening.”

Murray also teased the possible return of another actor: Michael Weatherly. The actor just ended his show, BULL, and Murray let fans know he might be coming back to NCIS. 

“I talk to Michael all the time, so we joke about that possibility sometimes,” Murray said.
