You could try melioguide.com. she is a physical therapist and seems to be very knowledgeable about osteoporosis and exercises that take it into consideration.
@shorty321 thanks for the info. Did the therapist mention anything about using a leg press?
@shorty321 what I have heard is : 10–15 pounds, directly in front of you, lifted no higher than waist when possible..don’t bend—squat and use larger leg muscles…forget twisting when lifting to be safe….this isn’t necessarily for everyone, but a good guideline nonetheless.

Wow. No back extensions ? Interesting. I thought strong body program uses those. Thank you for sharing
