They weren't weightless. They weighed 1/6 as much as they weighed on Earth. They were carrying backpacks that weighed about 80 pounds on earth. They compensated for the extra weight on their backs by leaning forward to keep their center of gravity centered above their feet so they wouldn't fall over.
