The Scenario is not possible using Workflow and it is better to write a batch Apex to achive this

The following logic might work but still i would suggest writing a batch apex.

add two new flags (Checkbox_1 with default true and Checkbox_2 with default false)

WORKFLOW 1  created and everytime it is edited to subsequently meet the criteria
RULE:  status= 'In Progress' AND Checkbox_1= true
one hr Time Trigger ACTION:= CHECKBOX_2 = false
1 day  after Time Trigger ACTION: CHECKBOX_2 = True (reevaluate workflow rules after this action) and email action
