What has worked for you?

As background:
Bike crash with full hip replacement in mid August and recovery is going smoothly.
Surgeon has okayed riding a stationary bike but wants me to wait another month until I’m riding outdoors.
I’m NOT a riding indoors, trainer guy.
I typically ride outdoors year round even in cold weather.
The only time I normally use my trainer is warming up for time trials.
However it’s probably smart to do some good “training” before I just jump back on the bike and head towards the sunset (which is what I feel like doing).

What routines might you suggest to make the next month more productive and tolerable (I thought about putting margaritas in my water bottle but while fun might be counter productive)?

(I don’t have Zwift.....)
