Corner University Ergonomics on Standing Desks

In short, the researchers suggest sitting to do computer work but getting up every 20-30 minutes and moving around. The moving around part is critical: a short walk to get a drink of water, go to the bathroom, or head to a meeting is the best way to prevent the negative side effects on your body from sitting all day.
