Hold one in each hand, and put your feet on a bench so that you're facing the floor. you should be in the same position you'd be in if you were going to do push ups.
Now, let the rings out to the sides and your body drop between them. Go as low as you can and then pull the rings back together again so that your body levers up to its original position. It's something like an upside down flying exercise, only more so.
