December Ellipitcal Challenge?

So I keep seeing walking challenges... and I know people who refer to ellipticals as a tool of torture... that said...
It's easy on my knees and back and I can burn plenty of calories on it. Would anyone care to join me for a December elliptical challenge? My goal is six days per week, minimum 30 minutes per day on the thing. I estimate that will give me just over two miles per day, 12 per week, about 50 for the month of December.
My invitation is this: Please come and join "the challenge" of hitting 50 miles on an elliptical in December! More is better but let's see if we can hit that mark as a minimum.
Who's with me?

I love this idea! I will help me get to the gym when I'd rather make an excuse. I am so in!0

I want to do this also. But all I have is a gazelle. Does that count?0

Great idea. I'm in!0

I usually spend an hour on the elliptical 5 to 6 times a week, but I am going to start cross-training. I think I can still make the numbers.0

I love it. The elliptical is what I look forward to at the gym. I always do it after I finish my strength training. I say that we can do it!!0

I wouldn't know what an elliptical was if it smacked me in the mouth! If it fits in my pocket, then I'm in, if not, I'm out as I'll be travelling most of December.
But good luck anyway.0 -
I'm in, this sound like fun!0

Its too cold to walk outside for me now so my elliptical is my main exercise. I'm already doing 40 min 6 days a week but I want to get to an hour 6 days a week by the end of December.
I LOVE my livestrong elliptical! Best investment ever!0 -
I'm in....sigh I figure all of my exercise is paying off and I look smaller but today I am 2 lbs up. This would be a much better type of goal for me. It will be a challenge with my school clinicals, but I'm in. I'll start today...usually do 45 minutes but have no idea how far that is, so I'll get a ballpark of what I'm getting myself into.0

I'm in!! Let's do it!0

WOW!! Thanks for the great response!!!
So... start keeping track December 1. On New Year's Day we'll post our totals!!
19marie74: no clue what a gazelle is (unless you own the animal? LOL) The closest thing I can get to describing an elliptical (for movement) is cross-country skiing. If you're mimicking the movements I'd say it counts!
FYI: for those trying to estimate distance on ellipticals that don't keep track: I go about 120 paces per minute for my time. 30 minutes equals just over two miles for me. Estimate accordingly?
Who else is joining the party?0 -
oh screw it... I'M IN!0
