This is DAY ONE of your Collar Bone Rehab Plan. Prior to starting today you must have approval from your Orthopedic Doctor to exercise with your bike fixed on a stationary trainer. If you don't have the green light from your Doctor either go and get it or wait. Exercising on a non-healing bone is fruitless and can delay recovery. Make sure your bone is on the mend and knitting back together.

Set your bike up on a stationary trainer (NOT rollers!) with the following modifications: Place a block or small step stool 12 inches tall under the front wheel. Fix the front wheel in place so it is unable to turn side to side when you unevenly weight the handlebars. Adjust the angle on the seat to bring it horizontal. Climb on the bike and pedal for a minute. Climb off and make any further adjustments that will increase your comfort. Comfort and pain-free are the two priorities.

Set up a table you can reach a water bottle and a small towel when you are riding. For the first few weeks you may be unable to access your water bottle cage.

Set up a big fan or two to keep cool.

You will be riding this trainer for the next 6 weeks. Put up pictures that motivate you and set up a TV or Laptop to play movies and music. These distractions will lower your perceived exertion and improve workout quality.

Finally ride! Ride for up to 10 minutes. Ride at low cadence and in an easy gear. Keep everything comfortable. If anything hurts or you generally feel terrible cut the ride short. Do not ride longer than 10 minutes even if you feel like a rockstar. You need to check tomorrow how things feel before you increase ride duration. Have patience with your body and be kind to it.

After riding follow your physical therapy plan. At this point it will likely be some passive range of motion or stretching. Follow your Doctors and Physical Therapists guidelines.
