My honest answer would be to avoid doing any exercises that are not recommended by a physical therapist referred by your doctor. There are many, many different kinds of L2 fractures, and some are unstable and others still require surgery. If physical therapy was recommended, then for your safety I would recommend going to a physical therapist as your doctor recommended for strengthening exercises.
