The use of “can one” is correct, however “regular” is modifying the verb “strengthening”, so it should be the adverb - “regularly”.
Is the comma after “correct” in order?
Thanks.

I would break that into two sentences to make it easier to read. I always place a comma after ‘however’.
“The use of “can one” is correct. However, “regular” is modifying the verb “strengthening”, so it should be the adverb - “regularly”.”
As for modifying a gerund, I think either an adjective or adverb can be used, depending on the structure of the sentence.

Yes, the comma is in order.
Another way of writing the sentence can be (using a semicolon close to ‘correct’) as follows:
The use of ‘can one’ is correct; ‘regular’ is modifying the verb ‘strengthening’, so it should be the adverb (regularly).
