There is a great online course by Margaret Martin. Melio Guide. It gives a lot of great info on osteoporosis along with exercises. She is a physio therapist who specializes in osteoporosis.
She has an exercise where you raise up on your toes and then drop hard on your heels. Heal drops. Also very good for improving bone density.

@csuhilty it can be helpful…but, be careful with impact if you have spinal issues….go easy with this….my guess is that I want to build more strength first, through physical therapy, so my back can tolerate it well. Any thoughts here ?

This is excellent. Our Pilates trainer is certified to work with osteoporosis & we use this heel drop. Also existence training is helpful.
