It's highly unlikely that you would be able to obtain a patent on a new way of exercising -- this is a "discovery," not an "invention," and is most likely not patentable subject matter. You could contact and attorney or patent agent and talk with them in confidence about your idea, but based on what you've written, it doesn't sound likely that you've "invented" something patentable.

A trademark might protect the name, but it will likely be impossible to protect the "moves" or techniques. You might want to consult with an attorney, who can review ALL of the relevant facts in your situation, and advise you on how best to protect your idea, if it is possible to protect.
