Cracking without pain is fine. You need some warm up session before starting any exercise. Continue your strengthening and stretching exercises.

Cracking of joints without pain is little disconcerting.However the probable reason for body is still in need of that level of physical activity which you were doing.
My advice for you is start doing gentle stretching exercises.
This should resolve your problem
