'They go jogging' or 'They do jogging'

Hi teachers,
Is it correct to say, 'They do jogging' or it is better 'They go jogging'?

Thank in advance.

Always "they go jogging". You can't "do" jogging (or running, walking or riding).

Thinking Spain,here's the rule that I always teach my students according to a teacher's book given to us.
If you talk about sports:

Go+ ing = Go jogging,go swimming...etc(there are some exceptions like "lift weighting" which I think is used with" do").
Play is used when there's a ball

Yes, you'd say "they do weight lifting" (or "weightlifting" - definitely not "lift weighting").
