Hey Suny bro. good to see your thread here.  Think I can answer just one or two of your questions.

1.   You should eat after doing the exercise, not right before.

2.   I dunno about getting taller after getting muscles😆

3.  Yes its normal to feel some discomfort under the stomach after doing push-ups.  However if the pain is too much or lasts for long time, then its not normal.

😃

1.Should you eat before or after excericing? [Going to the Gym]
- you should always it after you execrise as after you exercise your metabolism is working faster then noraml and whenyou eat food it burns it off quicker + eating before you exercise will make you feel sick 😆

2. Is it true you won't get taller if you start getting big muscles?
-no thats not true ... yeas maybe if you get too bulky you might look smaller but thats about it

3. It's normal to feel pain under the stomach when doing too many push ups right?
- yes and no - yes = if your a beginner and your doing more then usually
- no if you advanced as this means your over doing it
          
4.3b. Is it a good sign?
- if your not over doing it but have just increased it then yeah it means that your toning your muscles

Hope that helped 😳

Beta,

Never eat before an excercise...it will make you get those stomach cramps more...😆

Actually I would say instead of trying to lift heavy weights, go for excercises like swimming, a good game of tennis, TT or badminton. They not only burn the calories  but gives you a satisfaction too without making you looklike a tiny lil man with big bulky muscles...swimming is the best one😛.

Never overdo it. Stretch your limite slowly...don't try doing everything in one day.Then you end up hurting yourself and also getting those spasms or cramps. If you are using the treadmill, on the very first day dont try running at the fastest speed to the highest elevation for one hour, then you will injure yourself...moderating and planning is the key factor...😛
