Luca is full of energy all the time and is best friends with 12 years old, Ethan. Jamie says she is surprised how viral the video has gone and has made a new Instagram for LungingLuca.

“We have thought about maybe trying burpees, but the only thing that I can think is that he'll probably just be hopping on our back or something," said Jamie. "We haven't tried anything else. What's funny is that this was so spur of the moment, but we haven't even really comprehended how far this has reached.”

Jamie has received positive messages from all over the world; as far away as South Africa. She said she is using this video to teach her kids to be careful about what they post on social media.
