Mini Trampolines have several uses, and a great one is to actually use it as a complete workout tool. It takes some time to get used to bouncing on a smaller trampoline, but once you get the hang of it there are many exercises you can do.
As with any exercise routine, it is best to do some stretching and warming up first. Go slow when starting and increase as you develop more skills and confidence.
Some exercises include standing with feet apart and not actually jumping, but just bouncing.
You can graduate into a basic walk step, but do not lift your feet off of the trampoline.
Finally you get into the more advanced exercises like Heel-Toe Bounces, Turnarounds and Jumping Jacks. Don't put your feet all the way together, but keep them somewhat apart when doing this exercise.
Whenever you get to lifting your knees higher than your waist, you will notice you are getting a good cardio workout if you do this for at least 8-10 minutes.
In any case, a simple mini trampoline can work wonders as a cardio exercise machine that does not cost as much as other cardio workout machines and will get you hopping!
