Can I Do Exercise With High BP?

I've been taking blood pressure readings a few times a day as had high reading in drs office..averaging at 127/92. I am 42 year old woman and need to lose about 25 kinds. I take 50 mg cozaar daily. I have cut out salt and doing some form of physical activity daily for an hour. Is exercise safe with these elevated numbers?
