The new year is upon us!

A twist on the typical cardio workout might kickstart your own New Year’s resolution — and that involves a mini trampoline.

EvolveYou’s Melissa Kendter, a personal trainer with a bachelor’s degree from Delaware Valley University, joined “Fox & Friends” Monday morning to show how to incorporate low-impact cardio workouts with a mini trampoline into the comfort of your home. .

She recommended starting with a light bounce to get balance.

“Getting an athletic stance. Core is tight. Bottom back a little…bounces a little bit,” she said.

Kendter said that as people get more familiar with the trampoline, they can add their arms to the mix.

“It’s about building healthy habits for the new year.”

For added balance, Kendter recommended getting a sturdy stick or bar to hold on to if needed.

The mini trampoline can also be used for more than just jumping, she said.

Kendter said mini-trampoline training can be versatile — and anyone can use it as a tool for lunges, too.

To complete the circuit, Kendter recommended getting back on the trampoline and jumping with a waist twist.

“It’s about building healthy habits for the new year,” she said.

For those who need to modify trampoline jumping, Kendter recommended simply bouncing instead.

“You don’t have to jump in the air, you can just bounce,” she said.

The mini trampoline can also be used for core workouts, making it a full body exercise.

Kendter recommended searching online for a mini trampoline to buy.

She said they can range from $50 to $500.
