Depending on how bad your condition is you have to be mindful as to not damage your bones further. Low impact things like swimming, tai chi, and yoga. I wouldn't recommend doing advanced moves if you're really fragile.

Riding a bike is a good way to excercise when you have avn/ osteonecrosis.

Exercise, Yes if not painful. As far as I know, it will not make the condition worse, but could become more painful if over exert oneself. As the condition worsens, exercise will become tougher. With my ON shoulders, I will not lift weight, swim, etc. Only exacerbates pain.

Do what you can, but don't overdue.

Light exercise excluding the affected joint/s.

All depends on where the pain is, but try your best to move them so go for walks and so on, bikes or exercise bikes are great for the hips and knees

Under the guidance of a trained medical professional, exercises may help with the pain.

Exercise is okay as long as you can tolerate it. Swimming a couple times a week is the best as it keeps the major load off of your joints.

Physical activity can be an important aspect to retain muscle strength during treatment and assists rehabilitation after surgery. Your physiotherapist or doctor can confirm what type of exercise is most suitable. In general exercises that exacerbate pain should be avoided. That might be exercises that weight bear on the affected limb such as running. Pools can be a more comfortable way to exercise and swimming, aqua aerobics classes or pool walking are some options.
