how does your neck feel? are you having much pain at all? are you taking anything for pain? were you doing the running and using your treadmill and cross trainer before the surgery? did your doctor tell you specifically not to do any running or using the treadmill or cross trainer? i had my surgery in nov. 2014 and i had to have some heat therapy on my neck about 3 months after my surgery. i could not move my neck to one side so it may it hard to drive cause of me turning my neck. but the heat therapy really help me. i found it so relaxing that i went to sleep. if you are not on any pain medications and you are healthy i would start running say close by to your house in case you have any problems and if you use the treadmill and cross trainer do it in moderation. start say with 10 minutes then see how you feel and then maybe do another 10 minutes just don't over do it. there is always another day where you can start slow and then wait say about a month before i would just jump in. don't cram 2 months of exercise in one week. do it in moderation. . let me know how you are doing. i do hope that it all goes well for you. i would like to know how you are doing. please keep us informed of how well you are doing. thank you.
