The 5 Tibetan Rites are Wrong

So yesterday I read an article about 5 rites that Tibetan monks do everyday that supposedly helps them live such long and healthy lives.

I want to live a long and healthy life - so I figured I'd give them a try. They're mini exercises - similar to yoga type stretches and poses. I read the warning about starting off slow to see how your body responds - but i ignored that (given the top notch physical shape i am currently in, naturally).

Well - I did them this morning and by the time i got to work today I was unable to breathe deeply, yawn, laugh or make sudden movements without excruciating pain. Those silly monks are flexible (and feisty! remember we saw that one breaking windows?!!).

Anyway, i swear I'm allergic to yoga. 2 years ago when i took up yoga [to deal with commuting to work from home and you joining some crazy organization] i was unable to walk without pain in my back for months! that is not healthy! my back is fine when i DON'T stretch it! it's when i start messing with it that it acts up.

monks are crazy.
