Context is everything
This is called a closed question, ie it can be answered yes or no. But you can treat it like an open question and answer say. "Yes I often do, about once a week". This shows I'm interested in taking this discussion further. If you say "No, not often, only once a week". This suggests you are not interested so let's talk about something else.

You can simply say
“Yes (I do)” - If you do it often
or
“No (I don’t)” - If you don’t do it often
