This @LarryMathieson item that was reposted by @ActiveAgingCda reminded me of how I use my #NordicWalking poles for these fitness components. For strength, I can push isometrically against an object to improve strength in my backswing. For balance, I can use the #NordicWalking poles to start a balance exercise. For mobility, I can use the #NordicWalking poles to support shoulder mobility movements.
