get a wriggle on
Speed it up
Get a wriggle on means to hurry up or get moving.
The phrase is British and somewhat informal, often used as a mild command to someone who's dawdling: Come on, get a wriggle on or we'll miss the train.
The image suggests starting to move one's body rather than remaining still.
