Way too hard, my friend.
I've almost got continous windmills down. I've only been able to do 3, and I stop. But before I learned the technique that helped me out with that, I couldn't do any at all.
The standard way of starting the windmill is in handglide position. The one I'm gonna tell you is somewhat of an introduction to the standing position.
You start with your knees on the ground. If you're going CCW, leave your right knee on the ground and your leg leg sticking out to the side of you, fully extended. So if I were to look right above you, your legs should be straight with your body, horizontally. Next, turn your body to about 45 degrees to the right. This is your starting position.
To execute, spin you body CCW, and quick enough so that you can plant your arms in stabbing position. Your legs should by then kick behind you, and your right leg should've already passed around your head. The intial body spin should give you the momentum you need to continue your mills.
Don't worry if you can't get it for a while. I couldn't.
After that, you can do it in standing position. So body is 45 degrees to the right, left leg should be extended, spin, go into stab, then kick.
Hope that helps. If you go CW, flip the instructions.
Air moves us.
Fire transforms us.
Water shapes us.
Earth heals us.
