hIIt to gEt FIt

Prenatal exercise helps soothe and alleviate the challenges of pregnancy and prepare expectant mothers for both delivery and postpartum recuperation. A custom workout plan designed to help moms stay fit, strong and flexible to feel comfortable throughout the pregnancy. The class is especially designed to learn how to safely exercise during pregnancy.

Everyone wants to be fit and feel healthy, but nobody has the time to spend hours in the gym every day. High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a series of short, intense bursts of exercise with active recovery or complete rest between sets. Studies show that people continue to burn fat up to 36 hours following a HIIT workout. It’s a great way to get fit fast!

This class is open to all ages and fitness levels. As a certified physical therapist, Stephanie Idjadi will assist all students with low impact variations as needed.

MediCAid PArt i: CoMMunity MediCAid (as compared to institutional Medicaid)We are collectively living longer lives. This means that our planning (or the lack thereof) will impact our lives and our finances (or the lives or finances of our family members) for years, if not decades, to come. This seminar will explain how Medicaid can help us to secure long-term medical care (and why Medicare does not cover long-term medical care). We will discuss what you can do to qualify for Community Medicaid - and what common pitfalls you need to avoid so as not to jeopardize other potential future government benefits, especially Institutional Medicaid. This Seminar will cover, among other issues:· If I don’t qualify for Medicaid (based on my income or assets), what can I do to qualify?· How do Medicaid rules differ for married couples as compared to unmarried persons?· Can Medicaid pay for a home care aide? · How do advance directives (health care proxy & power of attorney) fit into the picture?· Can I preserve my assets from Medicaid’s reach? If yes, how?· Real-Life Examples and Q&APlease note: Given the complexities of the Medicaid rules, especially “Community Medicaid vs. Institutional Medicaid,” we have decided to make this a two-part Seminar.

MediCAid PArt ii: institutionAl MediCAid For many of us life in a nursing home is an increasingly distinct possibility, due to our rising life expectancies. Given the astronomical cost of nursing homes (average of $148,680/year in Nassau County), and given the five-year penalty look-back period, this seminar explains how to navigate the complex Medicaid rules, and how to plan for Medicaid without jeopardizing your assets. This Seminar will cover, among other issues:· How do I protect my assets from liens (and/or estate recovery) imposed by Medicaid?· What happens if I need to enter a nursing home, but I forgot to do Medicaid planning?· Real-Life Examples and Q&A



Asset ProteCtion“All roads lead to Rome.” Now imagine for a moment a situation in which someone thought, “All roads lead to your assets.” As you may already know, your assets are vulnerable to general creditor claims. The focus of this seminar is how (and when) trusts may protect your assets from various types of creditors, some of whom you may not be aware of. For example, in addition to the “typical” creditors, you (or your loved ones) may also face creditors in context of divorce, child support and alimony, and government benefits. We will discuss what types of trusts provide protections – and which ones do not.

This Seminar will cover, among other issues:· Can I protect my assets from my future creditors?· Can I protect my assets from my children’s future creditors?· When should I consider asset protection – now, or when creditors knock on my door?· Can the Government be a creditor? Who else?· How does Asset Protection fit into my general estate plan? Is it the same thing?· How does Asset Protection fit into my Medicaid plan?· When should I consider establishing an Asset Protection trust in another state? Nevada?
