Usually "flogging a dead horse" imagine you are beating the horse trying to get it to move even though it is dead. It means that you are trying to do something that cannot be done.

What is keep up the work in idiomatic expression?

"Keep up the work" really isn't a common idiom, so I don't have another idiom that means the same.

However, I still can't think of another idiomatic expression that means the same thing...
