The New Year is upon us! 

Many people choose to get fit as a New Year’s resolution — and also hope to shed a few pounds along the way. 

A twist on the typical cardio workout could jumpstart your own New Year’s resolution — and it involves a mini trampoline. 

10 HELPFUL TIPS FOR CHOOSING NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS

EvolveYou's Melissa Kendter, a personal trainer who has a bachelor's degree from Delaware Valley University, revealed ways to incorporate low-impact, cardio workouts with a mini trampoline in the comfort of your own home. 

She recommended starting with a light bounce to obtain balance.

"Get in an athletic stance. Core is tight. Bottom back a bit … slightly bounce," she said on "Fox & Friends" during an appearance last year. 

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

"It’s all about building healthy habits in the New Year."

For additional balance, Kendter recommended getting a stick or sturdy bar of some sort to hold onto if needed.

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

"It’s all about building healthy habits in the New Year," she said. 

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

"You don’t have to jump up in the air — you can just bounce," she said.
