get moving
Begin to move
Get moving means to start moving, often with urgency.
It can be literal—Let's get moving before traffic gets worse—or figurative, meaning to begin making progress: We need to get moving on this project.
As a command, it urges someone to hurry up or stop dawdling: Get moving, we're late!
