Hard to turn because your turning against valve spring pressure and That's why it jumped, one cam lobe right near it's peak open and it tends to spring back. If you rotate the engine by hand through a few complete revolutions now that you have the timing belt on and are comfortable all marks are lined up you should be good. My Highlander did the same thing, and I did the same as you, and when I went to start it, it started immediately and ran perfect.
