Thanks for the comments.

I think as we become a more and more seated society, you're going to find more and more problem arising from poor gluteal involvement in movement. The flat ass look, the way people walk, the way people squat...all tell you a story about their movement patterns and usually about their low back health. I mean, an atrophied glute doesn't not always correlate to back pain (see athlete), but in general population --that sit alot--its always the first area I address when introducing core work with a client. I treat the glute as importantly as the "core".
