I don't think so. Higher intensity is better for general fitness and a higher rate (per unit time) for burning calories. For a fixed distance, you just burn more calories walking than jogging or cycling. Actually, if I were you, I'd jog at a slow pace to get better aerobics, more muscle development and better bone fitness.
