Sit or stand?

Once again apologies if this is in the wrong category
As I'm still waiting for delivery of my bike, and being new to Pedelecs, I'm doing a lot of reading on the subjects of best ways to ride them?
Gears in favour of motor and vice versa, and the one I'm interested in is when climbing hills.
As a big part of getting the bike is to kick start my fitness levels and lose weight I find conflicting theories around getting out of the saddle and remaining sitting letting the motor so the work when going up hills.
My original plan is to use maybe eco mode as much as possible to help increase fitness, so is it still fine to get out of the seat whilst in eco and 'dig in' without it upsetting the way the motor may respond with the extra effort, or am I totally misunderstanding things?

Ride it however you want. The only thing to remember is the more effort you put in the more range you will get

So despite the motor assist it won't make any difference that's what I was hoping as I couldn't see standing up and extra effort making that much of a difference in performance, it was just something I'd read on other reviews/sites that suggested it made a difference.
