Hello, everyone!
How are you all keeping?
I would like to know if the phrases 'in good health' and 'in good shape' are interchangeable in the following sentence:
My uncle is in good health/shape. He exercises every day, and we ride our bikes together.
Thank you so much!

You could use them interchangeably, but usually 'good shape' has more to do with exercising, not being overweight, being relatively strong/ athletic, etc whereas 'good health' is more general-- i.e. not ill, no major health problems, etc.
In your example, 'good shape' is probably more precise. But, in a general sense, they have similar meanings. It'll depend in context/ age, also. For example, if a person is 20 years old versus 80 years old, 'good health' for a 20 y/o should almost be assumed whereas for an 80 y/o, it's more remarkable.
