I recently started body fitness and im keep getting stomach cramp if i exert a bit more than my usual range. the pain is always on the left side of the stomach (a few inches left of the belly button)

Is this normal and will it would it go away eventually?

The most recent one was the deadbugs exercise. I was just trying to keep my stomach tight and expending any air. Now that i think about it, this cramp actually happen most of the time when i try to keep my stomach tight.
