Best pump for exercise balls?

[beachgal]

Hi!

I have an exercise ball and have really loved using them in classes and at the gym, but mine came with a very wimpy pump. I was only able to really use it when I took it with me to class and the instructor let me blow it up using her electric pump thingy.

I'd love to use mine at home--but am unsure as to the best kind of pump to use with it. I'm tall and have a really big exercise ball, so it takes a lot of work with a foot/hand pump (with little real result) to try to get it firm.

Bike pumps usually do the job - even car tire pumps at service stations. Drive down there with your ex. ball and pump it up.
