The Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H used to fast on Monday's and Thursday's. Following the path of Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H and observing fast on these days is an act of Sunnah.
The following hadiths give some insight behind the reason for fasting on those particular days.
Abu Hurayrah Radhiyallahu anhu says: "Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said: 'Deeds are presented (before Allah subhanahu wata'allah) on Mondays and Thursdays. I desire that my deeds be presented whilst I am fasting'".
[Sunan al-tirmidhi 228]
Abu Qatada Ansari (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Massenger (may peace be upon him) was asked about fasting on Monday, whereupon he said: It is (the day) when I was born and revelation was sent down to me.
[Sahih Muslim 2606 ]
