Your doctor and a physiotherapist should be able to guide you on which exercises you can do safely with your healed fracture. Can you get your doctor to refer you for physical therapy? They'll do an assessment and work with you on exercises you can do.

This is what I did after my vertebral compression fracture. It took quite a few months but I am back to my pre-fracture workout routine and feeling stronger every day.

I got the referral today. I am going to start with physical therapist who specializes in osteoporosis. I am thinking about starting HRT to try to hold my numbers in place for a bit. I talked to PCP about it. She will prescribe it for me, but she does not know the dosing to promote bones and neither do I. I'm glad you are back to your prefracture routine. I still have a ways to go.
