The best time to jog is usually in the morning. Set your alarm and wake up around six in the morning. If you find that difficult, make it 7 am, or 8, or 9 depending on your schedule! Beyond that, you will not get the maximum benefit of jogging. This is because early in the morning, the air is fresh and the oxygen content in the air is high. When you jog in the mornings and gasp for breath your lungs are filled with oxygen which is needed to burn off calories.
