Is it a Bid'ah (innovation in religion) that I fast one day every month?

Fasting one day every month is not an innovation (bid‘ah), due to the general desirability of voluntary fasting. However, it is better to adhere to what has been reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, such as fasting alternate days, or fasting three days every month, or fasting on Mondays and Thursdays.
