Reflexive infinitive as subject
The infinitive "s'étirer" (to stretch) is used as the subject of the sentence, a common way to talk about actions in a general sense.
c'est = ce + est
"c'est" is the contraction of "ce" (this/that) and "est" (is), used to introduce a statement about something previously mentioned.
Adjective agreement
"important" stays masculine singular because the implied subject "c'" (ce) is neutral.
Placement of "aussi"
"aussi" (also) can follow the adjective ("important aussi") or be placed before it ("aussi important"); both are correct but convey slightly different emphasis.
