I've began working out and I'm primarily focused on burning off fat. I've heard the theory that doing abdominal workouts are only going to build muscle under the fat layer....so any advice on methods to burn fat at the fastest rate? Also, does running on an incline increase the rate at which I can burn off fat? HELP!

Yes it will as you are taking your weight against gravity which takes more effort and uses more energy....;

Yes the incline will help as gravity helps to increase the weight load working against you.
The absolute best method for burning fat the fastest is cardio excercises. "targetted" excercies can only be used to build muscle, but contrary to what many apparently believe, you cannot target fat areas. Fat is something you lose overall, and your best bet for burning it is general cardio excercies like the treadmill, jumping jacks, excercise bike, etc.
In addition, it builds on your endurance faster, meaning that you are reaching a point where you can step it up more productively.

An incline is good. It uses more energy. Changing from flat to incline and back is good too. When you do an activity that is at an even pace, your body tries to find a conservative burn point, or plateau of fat burning. If you change your pace now and again, it keeps the work out more productive.

If you keep your running speed constant then increasing the incline will burn off more calories. You don't want to lose weight too quickly though because this can cause you to reduce muscle as well as fat. It might also reduce your metabolism and increase your appetite which will make it harder to lose the weight.

Hi,
Running is great, but it's all about the diet =) I've tried all different diets, and the weight loss is only temporary. I finally tried diet pills on the market are made from Hoodia. I saw this stuff on ABC News. It's all natural and safe, and it works! My wife took it for a month and dropped 20 pounds. I took it for a month and lost about 13 (but I didn't exercise).
I bought the natural hoodia from this website: http://www.alllsite.info/free-diet-pills.php . I checked the web site address so I can post it here and I saw they're running a promotion now to get a free 2 week sample for only $4.97! I'm going to order this supply for my wife and give it to her for Christmas =)

You bet it will.
You wantr to lose fat the fastest way is no carb. No bread, rice, pasta, or potatoes. You will drop it like it's hot.
Problem with any diet is if you fal off your diet you will gain all that weight back plus more.
Running uphill is harder so it burns more energy / fat

If you run down an incline you are pushing your muscels harder than running on a straight surface or running downhill. So it probably does help but don't just run up inclines do regular running too.
