Hi welcome to HCM
It's quite normal. It occurs in initial days of starting exercise
Its due to muscle stretching
It disappears on regular exercise
No need to quit exercise, rather gap in taking exercise further prolongs its course
If too much painful, reduce the degree of exertion, but do it regularly
Thank you
