Welcome to the forums... You need to create a script and place it in your mission. This is what I found from searching the forums that will be able to help you.

;---Start----
_unit = _this select 0
_moves = _this select 1

_i = 2

#routine
_unit playmove "FXStandDip"
_i = _i + 1
? _i < _moves : goto "routine"
exit

;---End----

You activate it [unit, amount of push-ups] exec pushup.sqs
example "[dude, 10] exec pushup.sqs"

Just remeber to save the attached file to pushup.sqs

I have a feeling its harder than it sounds.

endPressUps=false
#loop
loon1 playmove "FXStandToDip"
~2
?endPressUps:exit
goto "loop"

looks good on paper but he does two, stops, stands up, then starts again, which is hardly continuous.   Also he drifts to his right.

Edit:  Well IW beat me to it  ;D ... you'll need to rename his script pushups.sqs and put a delay like this ~1 in the loop.

If you're not sure how to use script files read snYpir's excellent Introduction to code snippets in the Editors Depot.

Ok i know what you mean:

The only way i know how to do it is make like 5 trigger of the same trigger over the person.

Look at this picture:

Also if you want the person be standing then put his gun on his back, then do his push ups, make the switchMove be playMove in this command line;  unitname switchMove "FXStandDip"

bye

I have tried the script but i keep getting an "unknown operator"message.what am i doing wrong.

"unknown operator" usually means a spelling mistake or typo.    Maybe you have an extra space somewhere, or you have missed out a ".
