in form / in shape ?

Can you tell me the difference between "in shape" and "in form"
and which one should be used to complete this sentence ?

"For most people , simple activities like walking and swimming are all that is needed to
stay in ___"

Thanks in advance.

It would be good if you gave your opinion. "Stay in shape" is a fixed expression for the use you have in mind. The form you present when you're in shape may be different from that of your friend when he's in shape.
