Depends: Fractures vary in severity. Often injuries to the soft tissues around the bone (nerves, disks, ligaments, muscle) will have a big impact on the treatment and the outcome. Once healed, most can and should engage in exercise. Talk to your back specialist about suggestions specific to your injury.
