See above. Note that they all refer to habitual actions, equating to "Are you a regular jogger?"

4. could be quite natural in context.

What do you do in the mornings? Do you go for a jog?

 

[emsr2d2]

Good point. I retract my statement that it's unnatural. However, Jutfrank's context still refers to habitual actions. I wasn't sure if the OP thought these questions could be used in place of "Are you going for a job?" or similar.

It came to my mind because we do say "Do you go for a walk?"

so if "go for a walk" sounds natural then why not "go for a jog"

Yes, we can go for a walk/run/jog/bike ride etc.

In what context would you use "Do you go for a walk?"

If I have a diabetic friend and doctors have asked him to walk at least one hour a day, I may ask him "Do you go for a walk", that can be the context.

 

[emsr2d2]

If you want to find out if he has already started walking for an hour a day, you could ask "So, after your doctor's advice, do you go for a walk every day?" It's grammatically correct although I would say "Are you going for a walk every day?" or "Have you started going for a walk every day?"
