As CFD has said once a day is plenty for you right now and slowly building to twice a day would be the way to go!

Burning cals along with proper diet is what will lower body fat percentages to reveal abs. Also sprints although a whole body exercise does target your legs which are also the biggest muscles in your body, it takes more cals to sustain muscle than fat so in turn also burns more cals.Working abs in themselves, which are small muscles does very little to reveal them. You can have outragesly strong abs and never see them without low enough bgody fat percentages. I don't think anyone implied that sprints is the only or best way but it is an effective way along with various other tactics.
I do so many different workouts all the time its like what p90x promotes, muscle comfusion has alot to do with it along with clean eating , but I learned from last contest prep how affective sprints were, they really worked great for me....
