Maybe I am late to this game, but just saw a June plank challenge on facebook, and I've signed on. It is little more than a schedule, and you can comment to say that you've done yours. Seems like a nice reinforcer/ accountability thing.

Have any of you done anything similar?

Best,
F. B.

What can I do next?

I'm challenging myself to see how long I can go without participating in any challenges!

Winning so far! :)~

(good luck to those who enjoy that exercise stuff! Unless planking is sitting on a piece of wood and reading a book, I'm good there. Does squatting whilst one weeds the yard count?)

i haven't seen that, but i just started a 100 mile june challenge on FB, and almost a dozen people have signed up! it sounds similar- they just shoot me a message with how many miles they've walked, run or swam each day and i keep a running tally.
planks and squats- eep! so good for you, but so dang hard!

Personally not a fan of challenges, as I think they cause you to overtrain one particular body part. Your body needs time to recover and allow the muscle to build.
Working the same group everyday is a recipe for injury and damage.

Particularly since I feel that these "challenges" are usually directed to those that are not already fitness people, that may not understand proper form, etc...

Eh. I have my workout routine established, which includes planking and squats. I'm not going to bother with a "challenge"

...unless someone will give me chocolate for doing so! ;)
