    i presume you mean triceps.
    this is an area where fat can accumulate on women, causing the dreaded bingo wings. Diet is going to be the biggest help to reduce these flabby areas.
    If you think your bodyfat is low enough then some specific exercises could help.
    As you have some dumbells you could try tricep kickbacks, as demonstrated here:

    Good old pressups as well work the triceps. Try them with feet elevated for a harder workout.
    Hope this helps.

    Triangle push ups, Tricep kick backs, skull crushers, french press, Dips, dips dips dips... work those triceps to the max but balance with bicep as well.
