An ounce of prevention is how the old saying starts so perform a warm-up before you do your squats. That should include a general warm-up and a specific warm-up according to ExRx. A general warm-up, which could include calisthenics or jogging on a treadmill for 10 to 15 minutes, is meant to increase both your body temperature and blood flow to your muscles. A specific warm-up means moving your muscles through the range of motion you will be performing when working out, but without resistance added.
Start slowly if you're a beginner and gradually increase the amount of weight and duration of your workout. Increasing your threshold in increments will give your body time to adjust and can limit the amount of soreness you experience.
