``The turnout is very impressive and our performance is commendable. I am very convinced that we are all feeling very good.

``The objective and aim of the march has been achieved; we have all sweated very well, and this has added value to our health,’’ he said.

He advised that the exercise should be sustained, adding that those on essential duty who could not participate should make themselves available next time.
