Many thanks for all of the replies. I think in future I should give the context which would obviously help. It was in the context of encouraging people to eat a healthy breakfast:

¡Despierta! ¡Desayuna! ¡Por la mañana ponte las pilas! ¡Cómete el mundo! ¡Muévete! ¡Despierta! ¡Desayuna! ¡Come sano y muévete!

Is this from 'ponerse las pilas'? Does it mean something like (re)charge your batteries ?

Ponerse las pilas means to "start moving" or to "get moving"
