Robert Downey Jr., Jeremy Renner, Miles Teller, Chadwick Boseman, Anthony Mackie, Kevin Hart and Snoop Dogg are just a few of the #22PushUpChallenge nominees that fans can expect to see in the next rounds.
The movement was originally started by #22Kill which goal is to document 22 million pushups "to honor those who serve and to raise awareness for veteran suicide prevention through education and empowerment."
The challenge gained attraction after the U.K.'s leading veterans' mental health charity, Combat Stress, launched a similar campaign in late July. General Sir Peter Wall, president of Combat Stress, took to Facebook to commit to 22 pushups over the course of 22 days.
