You can start out my doing push ups on your knees; keep you back straight, don't sag in the middle and look forward to keep you airways open. you could also try lifting wieghts to build some upperbody strength. good luck.

Try this, stand in front of a wall with your toes right against the wall. The take a full step back, then a half step. After you have done that place your hands against the wall just like you were going to do a push up. it works a different set of muscles then you would with a true push up, but it will strenthen your wrists and should increase your ability to do push ups.
It worked for me, and it's a fun quick way to do an alternative push up. Best thing is you can do it anywhere.
Do that for about a week alternating with push ups done on your knees and the standard push up.

You need to start with some upper body building exercises and weight training. Then start with wall push-ups graduating to floor push-ups but only from your knees. Then as this becomes easier start incorporating the traditional push-up. Make sure you have the correct form or not only will you cheat yourself of the benefits, you could hurt yourself! Join a fitness club or the YMCA. They actually have staff who can help you and design a personal fitness plan for you. Also some churches have fitness centers at a fraction of the cost and you don't have to be a member.

Start by doing push-ups with your knees touching the ground. Or, do regular push-ups on an incline. When that becomes easier you can move on to regular push-ups.

you can do them on your knees, thus only half the weight is uses... however push ups are relatively useless... Go to the gym and do some lateral presses and incline and decline first... then normal push-ups would be breeze
