Yes 30-45 minutes at most! Once you have reached that time, your are no longer buning fat, but burning muscle. As far as the abs, you need to do crunches and really watch your diet. Watch out for carbs and high fat foods. Be sure to drink lots of water, especially if you are going to be doing some running!

so is it better to exercise twice a day for 20-25 minutes rather than once a day at 40-45 minutes?

Just make sure you jog for more than 20 min. Why??? Because the average body will start burning its stored fat after the 20 min. mark. And yes the body will use its muscle for energy if theres nothing else to burn.
