I’ve read to go lower resistance and higher cadence, but I really want to build up my leg muscles to where they are almost or on par with my lungs. All advice is appreciated!
Fitness can be a funny thing. It doesn't always translate well from one discipline to the next. It is going to take time. The nice thing though is with a solid fitness foundation you'll come around quickly.

How many times have you ridden and how far? What kind of bike?
