Yes, I do. However, to be safe PLEASE consult with your doctor who is familiar with you and your medical history.

Yes, but check with your doctor first to make sure that you don't have some heart condition which would be aggravated with exercise. Atenolol is a beta blocker, usually given to lower blood pressure, but it also lowers your resting heart rate.
