I am inherently lazy and therefore have zero interest in going to the gym or doing any cardio whatsoever. I’ve been lucky enough to stay in shape through a combination of physical work and diet but rapidly heading to the mid 40’s I thought I better do something additional to stay in shape.
Has anyone got any experience of maintaining weight / tone through doing only static training exercises? Planking, wall sits, holding weights at arms length for ages etc?
Is it possible to stay in shape doing ten minutes of that sort of thing daily or am I kidding myself on?

This is like bullworker. It does work.
If you did 10 to 15 mins per day plus 20 mins hiit that would be sufficient.
Do hiit 3 times per week, that's enough. |

Well my diet is first class but the hiit was the part I was trying to avoid!
I’ve just been doing some reading and by my calculations if I do one plank for 1 hour 40 mins I’ll cover the calories from a bottle of wine. By that metric if I just plank for all my waking hours that should cover everything.  |

If you've got the diet right, then any excercise is a bonus.
I go to the gym 6 days a week and Im overweight because my diet is shockingly bad and I drink too much beer. |

You probably wouldn't stick to a routine like that for long as it's quite boring.
For maximum benefit in the shortest time, I'd buy a Concept II and do HIT training on it.
Find out how to programme the pace boat. That will keep your motivation up. |

Hmmm ok, il be useful for a change.
Body weight exercises are totally fine buddy, but yourself a suspension trainer such as a TRX and you will be in your element.
BUT, here are the negatives. You will need to do cardio of some sort, you don’t burn enough just by suspension body weight training and wanking yourself unless your diet is 100% spot on which I won’t be if you admit to being lazy. A focused calorie specific diet is harder work than going to the gym itself.
Also, this is the kicker, if you’re too lazy to go to the gym as you say, you will not last with home workouts. Lazy is as lazy does, home workouts are usually a fad option.
Why don’t you join a pure or a JD for £20 a month and just do the cardio there? I’d imagine that your laziness to go to the gym and want to workout at home might be masking that you find gyms and lifting weights in gyms intimidating buddy. Going and working on a bike or treadmill at the back is a great way to start.
All the best man, reach out if you ever need tips or motivation etc  |
