Here are some highlights from the campaign so far:
Chris Pratt and wife Anna Faris dropped and performed 22 pushups allegedly. The film cuts off after 5. Shady, but let’s take their word for it.

It didn’t feel right for Scott Eastwood to perform his 22 pushups in a clingy tank-top, so he brashly hurdled it into the cosmos before getting down to business. How irretrievably badass of him.
Thanks @prattprattpratt and @therock for calling people out this morning. the #22pushupchallenge is to raise awareness for our veterans that are suffering out there. We must never forget about those who fight and die for this country. If you are suffering call 1-800-273-8255 @ludacris know your hungover but I’m challenging you!!!

John Kraskinki performs his dutiful 22 pushups alongside an alarmingly adorable dog Finn, who looks alternately mournful, confused, jubilant, bored shitless, jubilant again, inquisitive, irritated, over it, inexplicably pissed.

Then Chris Evans performs the task — “I’m just gonna bang these out real quick” — with his own dog doing everything in his power to sabotage his master. Heartless creature.

Then The Rock performs his 22, but is similarly interrupted by his dog, who is inexplicably wandering around the gym and licks his face the whole time. Three makes a trend, so dogs are officially a thing now.
At The Rock’s behest, Justin James follows suit, performing all 22 pushups, none of which are interrupted by enterprising canines. Dogs are over.
Here you go @therock. Your turn @simonebiles @therealjimparsons @schwarzenegger @justintimberlake Raising awareness for those who fight for our freedom and the aftermath of that fight. They shouldn’t have to face it alone. #22pushupchallenge #PushUpsArePartOfMyRehab #DoctorApproved

Then it’s Kevin Hart’s turn, offering us hints about what’s trending in 2016. Dogs are over; grey sweatpants and underwear with silver waistband are white-hot and very, very in.
I accept your #22pushupchallenge @therock and I now challenge @wayne215 Michael Ealy & @tstory88 …..Major salute to all of the soldiers that protect this country. #WhyAmItheseColorAsTheFloor

Not to be outdone, Ludacris interrupts his own concert to perform 22 pushups to the screechy delight of his minions.
No word yet on whether Anna Wintour will be participating. So, in the meantime, let’s just watch this again:
