Try rest and nsaid: If it persists despite some rest and nsad medication, then you need an exam You may have a muscular injury or a possibly a nerve entrapment in the forearm exacerbated by exercise

Hard to say: It could be a muscle cramp or an area of mild degenerative change to one of the tendons of the forearm(so called tendinopathy) to some irritation of one of the local nerves. If it's bothersome, you should see your doctor for a formal evaluation, as there's just not enough information provided to adequately guide you through this. Best of luck.
