CORE CURRICULUM: Physical therapist Peggy Brill has discovered that the key to strength, flexibility, energy and total well-being is in the body's core, which she designates as the muscles of your back, abdomen, pelvis and hips. She bases her theories (and exercises) on years of research and success with numerous couch potatoes and shares the information in her new book ``The Core Program: 15 Minutes a Day Can Change Your Health'' (Bantam Books; $24.95). Brill claims the Core program is a daily investment for lifelong health that begins with changing how you lift a child, rearrange furniture, carry heavy packages and work at your computer. For instance, she says, when reaching for a small object like a shoe, bend one knee and lift the other leg off the ground the way a golfer does. When the object is heavier, lift with a squatting motion and let your gluteals and legs do the work instead of your back. The book is reader-friendly with lots of step-by-step instructions and photos. - B.D.
