Both are grammatically correct but the first is illogical.

Look for a single, three-syllable word that can replace the first four words. You may want to place the adverb I'm thinking of after "lazy" instead of at the beginning.

Excellent! You've found the adverb I was thinking of and put it in the most natural place. Sentence 1 still doesn't make logical sense - how can anything be done with no movement? - but it's grammatically correct.

Sentence 2 might be improved by adding a reflexive pronoun at the end. Can you find the one I'm thinking of?

2) People are so lazy nowadays they want everything done without bothering themselves. Is it incorrect to say "without being bothered" or "without being bothered themselves"?
