I had written my list for each and started to type and it morphed into this post instead. So, yes, in a sense there are exercises that are referred to as push or pull exercises, but they still need more exact names. Because in a gym there isn't a bag of groceries sitting on a counter that one can just push and pull. The weights and machines that are available are utilized to activate and work the push/pull muscles. So for most you wouldn't just say "do pull exercises". You would decide to do "pull" exercises then do the exercise that work the "pull" muscles. Is that what you meant? In Nia we can just say push and pull because we are pushing and pulling against objects in our imagination. And we can gain strength with that by an Isometric contraction (yet another post in the works). LOVE seeing you here!

I use a kind of Push/Pull verbiage when I'm doing the Tai Chi element of Nia. Push the palms out, pull the palms (palms up) back. I totally get the muscles that each of these aspects (Push/Pull) uses...just interested to know if there's an actual fitness element called Push Pull. Thank you for the information!
