Are these kinds of exercises primarily for improving physical appearance? I have no interest in my butt getting bigger, however I would do this exercise, despite the embarrassment of performing it, if it will help prevent injuries and create more balance throughout my body strength wise.
Yes, that is part of what the program is. But, if you read the stuff, it is more than that. The author goes into great detail about the role of the glutes, and, as I mentioned, talks about exercises which can help identify weaknesses, which is why I brought it up.
I don't really want to buy the book, could someone just tell me the tests to do to identify if I have weak glutes or not?
Oh Picklesworth, why u no google?0 -

I used to cave to one side during barbell squats; this has been corrected and my top weight has increased.
Also, I can stand on one leg now, useful for tai chi.
Squats eh? I have noticed that sometimes when I do squats I tend towards putting my right foot further back than my left to feel stable, what does this mean?

Should show up in squats, broad jumps. I had an instructor recognize it during a bootcamp class.
What specifically did your instructor see?

I did google it but couldn't see the tests that the lady mentioned. I just wanted her to tell me them rather than buy a book to learn them.

Then I would have to go back through the book and find them.
When I google I see a bunch of articles with a number of different ways to assess glute strength including one by the author of Strong Curves.0 -
Hip thrusters, stiff leg deadlifts, standard deadlifts
Great way to have a strong powerful body core for an active life
