Rotatable hand supports for performing advanced pushups on a floor or ground surface. The main handle of the supports has a grip portion constructed to be grasped by a user. The base has a bottom portion adapted to contact the floor, a top portion rotatably connected to the bottom portion, and a bearing assembly supporting the top portion on said bottom portion. A support connects the handle to the top portion of the base and supports the handle at an elevated position relative to the base and above the floor. A hand clutch extends from the main handle and can be squeezed to perform hand-grip exercises simultaneously with a pushup exercise.

The invention claimed is: 1. A device for performing pushups on a surface, comprising: a) a main handle having first and second ends, and a grip portion; b) a base having a bottom portion constructed to contact the surface, a top portion rotatably connected to said bottom portion, and a bearing assembly supporting said top portion on said bottom portion; c) a support connecting said main handle to said top portion and supporting said handle at an elevated position relative to said base and above the surface; d) a hand clutch that can be grasped and moved between first and second limit positions by squeezing with the user's fingers; and e) hand clutch bias means for resisting movement of said hand clutch from the first limit position to the second limit position. 2. The device recited in claim 1, wherein said main handle is constructed and arranged to support the user's palm and the hand clutch can be squeezed by the user's fingers when the user assumes a pushup exercise position. 3. The device recited in claim 1, wherein said hand clutch bias means can be adjusted to change the force needed to move the clutch between limit positions. 4. The device recited in claim 1, wherein said hand clutch is pivotally-connected to said handle, and said clutch bias means normally urges the hand clutch away from said handle. 5. The device recited in claim 3, wherein said clutch bias means includes a spring tensioner and at lease one of a compression spring and torsion spring. 6. The device recited in claim 1, including means for adjusting at least one of said limit positions. 7. The device recited in claim 1, wherein each of said top and bottom base portions comprises a generally-planar base plate connected by a central shaft and arranged facing one another, said plates defining an internal cavity intermediate said plates. 8. The device recited in claim 7, including bearings arranged in said internal cavity, said bearings separating and supporting said top plate relative to said bottom plate. 9. The pushup device recited in claim 1, wherein said main handle is removable from said support. 10. The pushup device recited in claim 1, including a second main handle that can be interchanged with said first main handle, said second main handle having a grip portion that is different than the grip portion of said first main handle. 11. The pushup device recited in claim 10, wherein said first and second main handles include a quick connect/disconnect fastener. 12. The pushup device recited in claim 1, including an angular position indicator for measuring angular rotation of said handle relative to said bottom portion of said base. 13. The pushup device recited in claim 1, including a base bias means for resisting rotational movement of said top base in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. 14. The pushup device recited in claim 13, including an adjustable stop for locking said top base plate in at least one predetermined angular location. 15. The pushup device recited in claim 1, wherein said main handle, support and hand clutch are removable from said base. 16. The pushup device recited in claim 1, wherein said main handle is removable from said support, and said support is freely collapsible when said main handle is disconnected from said support. 17. The pushup device recited in claim 1, wherein said hand clutch includes a grip handle is removable and can be interchanged with a second grip handle having a different shape or size. 18. The pushup device recited in claim 17, wherein said grip handles include quick connect/disconnect fasteners. 19. The pushup device recited in claim 1, including a counter for recording and displaying the number of exercise repetitions performed by the user. 20. The pushup device recited in claim 19, including an interface on said counter for downloading data from said counter to the user's computer.
