I just read that the most effective way to banish belly fat is to sprint an hour a week.
My understanding of a sprint is a quick burst of speed for a short time. Is that right?
If that is right then are they saying you should "sprint" for 12 minutes 5 days a week or something? That might mean.... you're walking and then burst into a sprint for 1 or 2 minutes and then walk again and then burst into a sprint for another couple of minutes til you've reached 12 min. ???
I could see incorporating this into the C25K thing.

Oh dear.. be very careful with sprinting. You can really hurt yourself. This is something you'd have to take really slow and work up to. *I* don't even sprint... they do say it makes you a better runner, etc. but I'm too worried about injury. I have noticed my belly getting smaller. It's a slow process. I didn't get this in a day, so I know I won't loose it quickly either. My advice: stick with the c25K. (I actually wasn't even able to run the entire time for that and had to alter it for my own needs.) Once you get comfortable with that, you can add to the distance slowly.

OH GIRLFRIEND! I tho't you'd know me better than that! I am too soft on myself. I figured the C25K "jogging" *WAS* sprinting. hehehe I haven't been able to do the C25K yet but hope to start soon. If only dh would get outta the house more. sigh
