Hi @jsmtgal and @sadiejones, you can check out appropriate exercises for osteoporosis by googling Carol Michaels and Sara Meeks. American Bone Health also has a resource, Exercises for Bone Health, which you can Google. My husband broke his hip recently and many of those exercises are ones the physical therapist gave him to strengthen his hips.
I've added light weights and also use exercise bands to increase resistance
It's important to remember no forward bending of the spine - so many of the poses in Yoga and exercises in Pilates can cause vertebral fractures.
Walking is supposed to be good as well.
Wishing you the best, Teri
