Lucky for me, it turns out that I really don't have an issue with bone density as I was led to believe a few years ago. Hips were fine, but spine seemed to need help. I suspected the T-score wasn't the most appropriate measure. After starting to work with an endocrinologist for thyroid issues, he noted that my Z-score was fine, which takes into account more factors.
In any case, since I learned how to build bone by weight lifting and other impact exercises, I've continued to do them.
Here's an article that's from 2005 that references studies done in the 1990s that showed even high level athletes in non-impact sports like cycling or swimming would benefit from working to build bone. Skiing or snowboarding were mentioned as good sports to consider.
