Abstract: A craning exercise harness assembly and method for hoisting a torso of a user above a treadmill includes a frame being positioned upon a treadmill machine. The frame has a pair of feet where a pair of beams protrudes out from. Each of the beams has an end where a support is positioned. In addition, the support is positioned perpendicular relative to the pair of beams. A harness enwraps a torso of the user. The harness includes a top edge, a bottom edge, a first end, a second end, an interior surface, and an exterior surface. A pair of belts is enwrapped upon the exterior surface of the harness thus securing the harness around the torso of the user. A pair of straps is positioned upon the support of the frame. Each of the straps has a pair of ends being coupled to the top edge of the harness.
